Multiple bone lesions in an 8-month-old child presenting with pathologic fracture a rare case of solely osseous multicentric infantile myofibromatosis

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

Case: An otherwise healthy 8-month-old boy presented with a pathologic fracture of the distal aspect of the radius. Further work-up demonstrated widespread osseous lesions of the axial and the appendicular skeleton with no soft-tissue or visceral involvement. Conclusion: Infantile myofibromatosis has a spectrum of severity that demands a careful and complete work-up. In rare cases such as the present one, it can manifest as multiple osseous lesions. The patient in the present case was managed conservatively, with no morbidity demonstrated at 1 year of follow-up.
