Journal Title: International Journal of Contemporary Medical Research - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Introduction: Infantile myofibromatosis is a rare benign disorder of mesenchymal origin presenting as tumors in skin, muscles,bones and soft tissue of head and neck. Its solitary occurrence in bones is very rare. It is even rarer in peripheral location of skeletal system. Case report: Herein we report a case of infantile myofibromatosis at distal end of humerus confirmed by histopathological examination. Patient was successfully treated with curettage and filling of cavity by bone substitute (beta tricalcium phosphate). Conclusion: Infantile myofibromatosis is a rare event. Despite of its rarity a high index of suspicion must be practiced to arrive at correct diagnosis and treatment.
