Infantile myofibromatosis (IM) is most commonly limited to cutaneous lesions that resolve spontaneously. However, generalized IM with visceral involvement, which has a reported mortality rate as high as 73%, has been successfully treated with a combination of methotrexate and vinblastine. Here we report the further efficacy of low-dose methotrexate and vinblastine in 2 pediatric patients with IM and visceral involvement and review the literature describing chemotherapy for these patients.
婴儿肌纤维瘤病(IM)最常见的情况是局限于皮肤病变,且这些病变可自发消退。然而,有内脏受累的全身性IM,据报道死亡率高达73%,已通过甲氨蝶呤和长春碱联合治疗成功治愈。在此,我们报告低剂量甲氨蝶呤和长春碱对2例有内脏受累的IM患儿的进一步疗效,并回顾描述这些患者化疗情况的文献。
