Development of renal and iliac aneurysms in a child with generalized infantile myofibromatosis.
Infantile 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. ⋯ 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.
