Infantile myofibromatosis with hemangiopericytoma-like features of the tongue: a case study including ultrastructure.

We report a case of an infantile myofibromatosis with hemangiopericytoma-like features arising in the tongue of a 5-month-old female infant. Many authors now classify neoplasms as infantile myofibromatosis that were previously called infantile hemangiopericytoma. The ultrastructural features of our tumor illustrate its biphasic nature and provide a possible explanation for its histogenesis. Infantile myofibromatosis, including those diagnosed as infantile hemangiopericytomas, rarely arise in any intraoral location. Despite the generally good prognosis associated with these neoplasms, complete surgical excision is recommended to avoid recurrences.

Hepatic heterotopias in the jejunum: a case study over time showing progressive degenerative changes.

Multiple foci of heterotopic liver in the jejunum were sequentially discovered in an infant boy at the ages of 1 day, 2 months, and 4 months. This is the second reported case of jejunal heterotopic liver, a rare entity in any site. Progressive histological changes indicative of biliary duct obstruction were observed in the hepatic heterotopias, which demonstrated no connections to the main body of the liver or biliary tree.
