Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Oncology
  • Dermatopathology
  • Skeletal System Neoplasms

Context:

  • Infantile myofibromatosis is a rare benign mesenchymal tumor affecting infants.
  • This study reports on eight cases, detailing patient demographics and tumor characteristics.

Purpose:

  • To describe the clinical presentation, histological features, and outcomes of infantile myofibromatosis.
  • To investigate the immunohistochemical profile, specifically desmin expression, in tumor cells.

Summary:

  • Eight cases (5 male, 3 female) aged 8 days to 3 years were analyzed.
  • Tumors commonly occurred in extremities, trunk, orbit, nose, soft tissue, and bone.
  • One multicentric case regressed spontaneously; 2/7 solitary cases recurred post-excision.
  • Histology revealed myofibroblasts with abundant vasculature and necrosis/calcification.
  • Desmin staining suggested muscle-specific intermediate filaments in tumor cells.

Impact:

  • Provides insights into the behavior and prognosis of infantile myofibromatosis.
  • Contributes to understanding the cellular origin and potential therapeutic targets.
