Solitary orbital infantile myofibroma: a case report and review of the literature.
Infantile myofibromatosis is a benign condition involving the skin, viscera, or bone that presents rarely in the orbit where rapid growth and bony destruction can mimic malignant tumors. Lesions can be solitary or scattered throughout the body. Growth in viscera such as the lungs can lead to death. Herein, we present a case of a solitary orbital myofibroma in a young child.
