“…Most of the previous studies have reported that the following sonographic features of the affected SCM in patients with CMT: echogenicity; texture; motility; softness; and the transverse and longitudinal extent of the involvement [11-14]. Although many reports have been published on the ultrasonographic features of CMT, studies differentiating such features between the early and late stages are rare.…”

Background: Congenital muscular torticollis (CMT) is a relatively common neck deformity in infancy. The aim of our research was to determine the value of high-frequency and color Doppler ultrasonography in diagnosing CMT. Methods: Patients with a clinical suspicion of CMT underwent an ultrasound examination before diagnosis, and the sonographic characteristics were analyzed and compared with the clinical findings.

“…Open tenotomy or excision of the mass may be needed if the problem persists beyond the age of 6 months [10]. Fibromatosis colli usually appears sonographically as a hyperechoic mass or diffuse sternocleidomastoid enlargement of mixed echogenicity [11].…”

“…In general, the belly of the affected muscle is expanded and tapered toward both ends; however, regional sonographic variability, with alternating hyperechoic and hypoechoic regions, has been described. 11 Inflammation can involve neighboring structures, altering the usual findings, and generating concern. The ability of an ultrasonographer to make the diagnosis would be proportional to his or her experience and security with the pattern of disease, just the same as a pathologist's ability to render a diagnosis is dependent on familiarity with a histologic or cytologic 4.…”

Diagnosis of fibromatosis colli by fine-needle aspiration

Fibromatosis colli is a benign disorder presenting as a neck mass in neonates and older children. The differential diagnosis includes malignancies such as rhabdomyosarcoma. Neck masses in ten infants, discovered between the second and sixth week of age, were evaluated by fine‐needle aspiration (FNA). The male to female ratio was 7:3. In 8 patients there was good obstetrical history. Six of the 8 patients had a difficult delivery, as indicated by breech presentation or the need for forceps. Diagnostic aspirations were performed between the second to ninth week of age. The major cytologic finding was benign spindle fibroblasts, usually arrayed in clusters. The cells possessed plump, ovoid nuclei. There were also multinucleated cells consistent with degenerating skeletal muscle fibers. Only one case demonstrated significant inflammation. FNA can provide a rapid and reliable diagnosis in fibromatosis colli. There is support for the idea that in this setting, the disorder is related to perinatal muscular trauma. Diagn.
