Summary:. Infantile myofibromatosis is an unusual and rare lesion of the bone and soft tissue, which can be seen in the craniofacial skeleton. These complex tumors present a challenge to craniofacial surgeons regarding diagnosis, management, and safe and effective surgical treatment, frequently requiring complex reconstruction. We present the case of a 7-month-old girl with multicentric infantile myofibromatosis of the right parietal and fronto-orbital region, the associated clinical presentation, histopathologic findings, and surgical management, along with a review of the relevant literature.
