Infantile myofibromas are benign mesenchymal
tumors that are commonly found
in the dermis. and subcutaneous tissues
of head and neck. Although most lesions
are recognised during infancy and early
childhood, several cases have been reported
in older children and adults. We
describe a case of 6 month old male
child with left facial swelling for four
months.The tumour is progressively increasing
in size intraorally with a proliferating
type of growth.CT scan showed
well defined homogenous mass left
cheek.The tumour was excised intoto
without residual tumour with excellent
cosmesis using Weber Farquason incision.
