Abstract

Infantile myofibromatosis is a rare and benign myofibroblastic tumor that may occur in either solitary or multicentric form in the soft tissue of infants. A 13-month-old girl presented with a painless firm mass, measuring $2.5{\times}2.5cm$ in the right temporal area. Skull X-ray and CT scan revealed a well enhancing soft tissue tumor with a round skull defect and sclerotic margin. The tumor was totally excised with curettage of the skull defect followed by cranioplasty. Pathology was confirmed to be a solitary infantile myofibromatosis. We report this rare solitary infantile myofibromatosis of the temporal bone with review of the pertinent literature.
