Abstract
Infantile myofibromatosis (IMF) is a congenital disease characterized by formation of benign tumors either single or multiple, arising form cells supporting and binding the tissues of the body as well as smooth muscle tissues. The potentially massive tumors arise from the skin, subcutaneous tissues, muscles, bones, and viscera.
Abstracted from Tamburrini et al. (2003)
