Abstract
In infants and children, cervical masses originate from a variety of p athologic, congenital and developmental conditions, and it is importan t to distinguish benign from serious lesions. Fibromatosis colli is a rare cervical lesion that typically presents in the neonatal period. I t is the most common cause of neonatal torticollis and should be recog nized by physicians caring for neonates and infants.
