Unusual Presentation of Infantile Myofibroma in the Deep Palm of a Child: A Case Report and Discussion of the Differential Diagnosis
Infantile myofibroma or myofibromatosis is a myofibroblastic and fibroblastic proliferation that is most commonly reported in children younger than 2 years of age. It is a benign process composed histologically of a biphasic pattern of spindle-shaped cells surrounding a zone of less differentiated cells in a hemangiopericytoma-like pattern. We report this tumor in a unique presentation in the deep palm of a 2-year-old child without skin ulceration and with an intimate association with the median nerve.Median Nerve Compression by Radial Head Osteophyte
Congenital radial head dislocations are rare, and presentation with late complications is even less common. We present a case of a patient who presented with symptoms and findings of proximal median nerve compression secondary to large osteophytes associated with untreated congenital radial head dislocations.
