    Summary

    This study details a rare case of infantile myofibromatosis affecting the lungs and skin in an infant. The findings confirm its myofibroblastic origin and highlight a unique Korean case with pulmonary implications.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Pathology
    • Oncology
    • Dermatopathology

    Background:

    • Infantile myofibromatosis is a rare benign tumor of infancy.
    • It typically presents as multiple subcutaneous nodules but can involve various organs.
    • Pulmonary involvement is uncommon and associated with a poorer prognosis.

    Observation:

    • A male infant presented with subcutaneous nodules and pulmonary lesions.
    • Histopathological examination included light microscopy, immunohistochemistry, and electron microscopy.
    • The tumor cells exhibited myofibroblastic differentiation.

    Findings:

    • The case confirmed infantile myofibromatosis with both subcutaneous and pulmonary involvement.
    • Immunohistochemistry supported a myofibroblastic origin.
    • A review of 165 cases, including this one, was conducted.

    Implications:

    • This is the first reported case of infantile myofibromatosis with pulmonary involvement in Korea.
    • Early diagnosis and understanding of its myofibroblastic nature are crucial.
    • Further research into pulmonary infantile myofibromatosis is warranted for improved management.
