In this study, we summarise a case of a myofibroma causing mid-aortic syndrome due to obstruction of the distal thoracic and abdominal aorta leading to severe left ventricular dysfunction. The patient was managed with percutaneous intervention via balloon dilation and stent placement. On follow-up, the patient has normalisation of ventricular function, is off anti-hypertensives, and is being monitored for re-stenosis.

Solitary myofibroma is a recently described benign neoplasm of the skin or superficial soft tissue and it represents the adult counterpart of infantile myofibromatosis. This new clinicopathological entity is being recognized increasingly. A case of solitary myofibroma occurring in the pinna of a 50-year-old woman is presented. Such a lesion occurring in the pinna of an adult has not been reported in the literature.
