[Infantile myofibromatosis--a case report].
A four months old child was referred for a rapidly growing recurrency of a tumor of the left eyebrow. The tumor was excised completely. The pathologic examination revealed an infantile myofibromatosis, most probably of the solitary type. The term "infantile myofibromatosis" summarizes a heterogenous group of rare fibromatoses in childhood, characterized by the proliferation of myofibroblasts. Isolated tumors have a fair prognosis after complete excision.
