We explore the consequences of treating the X(3872) meson as a tetraquark bound state. As dynamical framework we employ a relativistic constituent quark model which includes infrared confinement in an effective way. We calculate the decay widths of the observed channels X\ensuremath→J/\ensuremathψ+2\ensuremathπ(3\ensuremathπ) and X\ensuremath→D0+D0+\ensuremathπ0 via the intermediate off-shell states X\ensuremath→J/\ensuremathψ+\ensuremathρ(\ensuremathω) and X\ensuremath→D+D*. For reasonable values of the size parameter \ensuremathΛX of the X(3872) we find consistency with the available experimental data. We also discuss the possible impact of the X(3872) in a s-channel dominance description of the J/\ensuremathψ dissociation cross section.
