DIAS, Mariana Eiras; BANDEIRA, Eduardo y BARREIRA, Rita. Cervical Mass in an Infant. Acta Radiol Port [online]. 2023, vol.35, n.2, pp.46-47. Epub 31-Ago-2023. ISSN 2183-1351. https://doi.org/10.25748/arp.27587.
Fibromatosis colli is the most severe presentation of congenital muscular torticollis and a relatively rare cause of neck swelling in neonates and infants. We present a case of a 6 weeks old male infant who was admitted to the emergency department with a mass in the left lateral-cervical region. Two soft tissue ultrasounds were performed showing multiple adenopathy and one week later a new ultrasound was performed by a radiologist experienced in pediatric imaging that was suggestive of fibromatosis colli. Ultrasound is the diagnosis imaging modality of choice if there is any doubt in the diagnosis. It shows focal or diffuse enlargement of the sternocleidomastoid muscle in a fusiform configuration.
