Fibromatosis colli (FC) is a rare pseudotumor of the sternocleidomastoid muscle (SCM), causing congenital torticollis in newborns or infants. The etiopathogenic mechanism of its occurrence is controversial. Diagnosis relies on ultrasound, which reveals characteristic thickening of the sternocleidomastoid muscle. We report a case diagnosed by ultrasound in a newborn who was in breech presentation.
