Solitary infantile myofibroma is a benign fibrous tumor occurring in early childhood. Although rare, it is the most common benign fibrous tumor of infancy. The clinical course of the disease is almost uniformly good since most tumors regress spontaneously. When indicated, conservative surgical excision is the treatment of choice, with a low recurrence rate. We present a case of solitary infantile myofibroma that recurred after three attempts of surgical excision, questioning the reported recurrence rate and the standard of care in recurrent solitary infantile myofibroma.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
