BACKGROUND: Infantile myofibromatosis is a proliferative disorder of infancy and early childhood characterized by the development of single or multiple nodular lesions arising from cutaneous or subcutaneous tissue, muscle, bone or visceral organs. In approximately one-third of cases, this myofibroblastic proliferation involves the head and neck region. CASE REPORT: In this paper we report on three cases of cranial infantile myofibromatosis in infants. The clinical presentation and the deceptive histopathological features can make diagnosis difficult. CONCLUSION: The significance of recognizing this entity is stressed, since its indolent clinical behavior might prevent diagnosis.
