Summary
Infantile myofibromatosis, a common infant mesenchymal tumor, can mimic aggressive neoplasms on CT/MR imaging. This study correlates imaging findings with pathology to aid diagnosis.
Area of Science:
- Pediatric Radiology
- Oncology
- Pathology
Background:
- Infantile myofibromatosis is a benign mesenchymal tumor prevalent in infants.
- Its appearance on CT/MR imaging can be variable and may resemble malignant tumors.
- Accurate diagnosis is crucial for appropriate management.
