Q

What is fibromatosis coli?

A

a benign proliferation of fibrous tissue infiltrating the lower third of the, (SCM) and is the most common cause of neonatal torticollis.

The mass, also known as a hematoma of the sternocleidomastoid, is firm and hard on palpation, but is neither tender nor inflamed.
