Infantile myofibromatosis of the craniovertebral junction

Abstract

Infantile myofibromatosis (IM) is a rare pathological entity characterized by solitary or multiple nodular skin, soft tissues or bony lesions. Craniovertebral (CV) junction lesions are rare. We report the successful management of a solitary IM involving the posterior elements of the CV junction in a 6-month-old child.
