Solitary infantile myofibromatosis presenting as multiple subcutaneous lesions: a case report.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Infantile myofibromatosis is a rare benign mesenchymal disorder characterized by the proliferation of myofibroblasts, representing the most common fibrous tumor of infancy and early childhood.
