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. The clinical diagnosis of fibromatosis colli is important to avoid unnecessary invasive interventions. The condition is treated conservatively with physiotherapy. 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.
