Cytodiagnosis of Infantile Fibromatosis Colli.
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science and Innovative Research (IJMSIR) - Year 2019, Vol 4, Issue 6
Abstract
Mean age of diagnosis of fibromatosis colli in early infancy is about 2 weeks. Child presents with torticollis and firm to hard nodular swelling over the sternomastoid muscle. We present a case in an infant, with a clinical suspicion of lymphadenopathy, while on performing fine needle aspiration; diagnosis of infantile fibromatosis colli was suggested. Fine needle aspiration cytology is a rapid, non-invasive, safe and economical diagnostic modality for diagnosing fibromatosis colli. It also helps to differentiate this benign self-limiting disease from other diseases; thus, saving the patient from unnecessary surgical intervention.
