Solitary infantile and adult myofibromatosis of the nasal cavity: a report of two cases.
Myofibromatosis is an uncommon, usually cutaneous, condition in which there is a benign proliferation of myofibroblasts. Solitary and multicentric nodular forms with, and without, visceral involvement have been described. Infantile and adult sub-types have been reported, each having distinct clinicopathological features. Presentation in the head and neck is common. It is frequently misdiagnosed because of its peculiar histological features. The first documented cases of infantile and adult myofibromatosis involving the nasal cavity are reported.
