Infantile myofibromatosis: a rare presentation with intussusception.

Infantile myofibromatosis (IM) is a distinct but rare clinicopathological entity occurring in neonates and infants. It probably represents a rare soft-tissue tumour made up of undifferentiated myofibroblasts. Its recognition is important since it can be mistaken for a malignancy when, in fact, it has a generally benign prognosis with spontaneous regression. We describe the first case of an infant with IM presenting with acute intussusception due to gastrointestinal as well as the typical skin involvement.
