Area of Science:

Pediatric Radiology
Neonatal Imaging
Musculoskeletal Ultrasound

Background:

Fibromatosis colli, also known as sternocleidomastoid tumor of infancy, involves benign fibrous tissue proliferation within the sternocleidomastoid muscle.
This condition often presents as focal or diffuse muscle enlargement and is frequently associated with torticollis in neonates.

Observation:

A case report details a sternomastoid tumor in a two-week-old neonate.
Diagnosis was achieved using high-frequency ultrasound, highlighting the modality's efficacy.

Findings:

Radiological imaging, particularly ultrasound by expert radiologists, is crucial for differentiating fibromatosis colli from other neonatal neck masses.
Ultrasound allows for accurate diagnosis, avoiding invasive procedures and minimizing parental distress.

Implications:

Physicians should maintain awareness of fibromatosis colli as a differential diagnosis in neonates presenting with neck masses.
Prompt referral for high-frequency ultrasound is recommended for definitive diagnosis and appropriate management.
