Infantile myofibromatosis, the most common soft tissue tumor of infancy, was diagnosed at 30 weeks of gestation. The tumor presented on ultrasound as a large mass measuring 42 mm × 75 mm × 35 mm located on the fetal back. The ultrasound diagnosis was further validated by MRI. Termination of pregnancy was carried out, and a multicentric visceral type of the tumor was diagnosed at autopsy.
