Abstract

The present case report describes a case of infantile myofibromatosis (IM) with a pseudo‑ulcerated plaque on the right side of the back of a fetus, detected in the 38th week of gestation using prenatal ultrasound. The fetus was examined weekly by ultrasound to measure the size of the mass. At birth, the scarlet mass was slightly elevated compared with the skin around it, with a cavity in the center. It appeared similar to an ulcerated plaque, but the surface of the mass was intact and smooth with a stratum lucidum. Thus, the mass was indicated to be a pseudo‑ulcerated plaque. Three months later, the mass had grown larger and so was removed by surgery. The pathology of the mass was confirmed as IM. It is suggested that IM should be considered when a soft tissue tumor is presented by prenatal ultrasound.
