Infantile myofibroma is an uncommon fibrous tumour of infancy, usually present at birth. It is a rare cause of child airway obstruction, with only one neonatal case reported. We report an eight months age case which was referred to our Unit for increasing respiratory distress. CT scan showed a well defined margins mass measuring 7×5×5cm arising from the left parapharyngeal space and occupying the oropharynx. We performed a complete surgical resection through a transoral approach with no events during the surgery. The patient has been followed-up by the first author for five years with no signs of recurrence or sequelaes.
婴儿肌纤维瘤是一种罕见的婴儿期纤维瘤，通常在出生时就存在。它是儿童气道阻塞的一个罕见原因，仅有一例新生儿病例报道。我们报告了一例 8 月龄的病例，因呼吸窘迫加重而被转诊至我科。CT 扫描显示一个边界清楚的肿块，大小为 7×5×5cm，起源于左侧咽旁间隙，占据口咽腔。我们通过经口入路进行了完全的手术切除，术中无任何事件发生。第一作者对患者进行了 5 年的随访，没有复发或后遗症的迹象。
