    AbstractInfantile myofibromatosis is a rare disorder characterized by the formation of tumors in the skin, soft tissues, bone, and viscera. We report the case of a 3-week-old girl who presented with severe hypertension due to generalized infantile myofibromatosis including renal involvement. The infant was treated by chemotherapy and showed progressive regression of the tumors. However, her evolution was marked by the development of aneurismal dilations of the renal and iliac arteries as observed in fibromuscular dysplasia. We discuss the possibility of a link between these two mesenchymal disorders.
