Abstract
An unusual case of infantile myofibromatosis of the solitary type occu rring in an intracranial location in a 48-day-old female infant is pre sented. To our knowledge, there are no other descriptions in the liter ature of infantile myofibromatosis with exclusively intracranial invol vement. The immunohistochemical and electron microscopic findings conf irm the myofibroblastic origin of the proliferation.
