Infantile myofibromatosis is part of a heterogeneous group of rare childhood fibromatoses characterized by the proliferation of myofibroblasts. It is not a common condition and is frequently misdiagnosed. We present an unusual patient who had small, depressed, atrophic, skin lesions uncharacteristic of infantile myofibromatosis.
