“…At surgery, the lesion may be confused with an atresia if seen soon after birth (11). It is important to identify the unusual firm mass at the site of obstruction which is not normally found with an atresia (13).…”

Neonatal intestinal obstruction due to a tumour is rare. We report a six-day-old male neonate who presented with abdominal distension and vomiting. Laparotomy revealed colonic obstruction caused by a stenosing fibrotic lesion in the proximal transverse colon. Histopathological examination of the resected specimen confirmed fibromatosis. We believe this represents the third reported case of solitary colonic fibromatosis. The literature on neonatal intestinal fibromatosis is reviewed.

“…The age predilection for this tumor is in the fourth decade of life. However, unusual cases have been reported in neonates where MF arises from the intestinal wall rather than the mesentery [14,15]. Although uncommon, MF has also been reported in children [16][17][18].…”

“…A solitary lesion in the abdomen though is very rare. A literature search revealed only 20 other reported cases of a solitary infantile abdominal myofibroma (Table 1 ); however, it is the first case in which anemia is the primary presentation of the underlying disease [ 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 ]. The typical presentation of an intestinal myofibroma is associated with bowel perforation or obstruction, accompanied by obstructive symptoms such as vomiting and abdominal distention [ 18 ].…”

A Solitary Intestinal Myofibroma: A Rare Cause of Neonatal Anemia

et al. 2017

Solitary infantile myofibroma with visceral involvement is very rare. We present an unusual case of a solitary myofibroma with abdominal localization in a 1-day-old female neonate who presented with severe anemia and rectal bleeding. A bleeding myofibroma was found, located in the wall of the jejunum, and totally resected. In case of a solitary lesion, treatment is relatively easy and effective, with excellent prognosis after total resection. The multiple form (myofibromatosis) has a poor prognosis with low survival rates. We therefore recommend total body MRI for all patients diagnosed with myofibroma to rule out other lesions.
