Pancreatoduodenectomy for neonatal myofibromatosis of the pancreas.

Abstract
Myofibromatosis is a rare congenital disorder consisting of one or more fibrous nodules in the skin, soft tissues, bones, and internal organs. The authors report the unique case of a newborn who presented with obstructive jaundice caused by a single myofibroma in the head of the pancreas that was treated successfully by pancreatoduodenectomy on the eighth day of life.
