Sumario: | Fibromatosis colli is an infrequent and self-limiting disorder in newborns with an unknown etiology. It usually presents with an abnormal head position or cervical swelling.

In this article, we report the case of a two-month-old infant who presented with an abnormal head position and was diagnosed with fibromatosis colli based on ultrasonographic examination, which is the non-invasive diagnostic intervention of choice. |
