CASE REPORT- FIBROMATOSIS COLLI

Fibromatosis colli or sternocleidomastoid tumour of infancy is a condition of benign proliferation of fibrous tissue within the sternocleidomastoid muscle resulting in focal or diffuse enlargement of sternocleidomastoid muscle. Fibromatosis colli typically presents a few weeks after birth with a slight male predilection and is unilateral (right sided) in 73% cases (1). It is thought to be related to birth trauma. We report a case of a fibromatosis colli in a 3 week old new born who was diagnosed using ultrasonography and treated with physiotherapy.
