title: Solitary intestinal fibromatosis: a rare cause of intestinal perforation in neonates.
abstract: Solitary intestinal fibromatosis (SIF) is very rare; only 9 cases have been described. A new case presenting unusually in a newborn is described and the previously reported cases are reviewed. SIF should be considered in the differential diagnosis of a newborn presenting with an intestinal perforation.
