Myofibroma is a rare benign nodular tumor of the soft tissues, bones, or internal organs, and may affect both children and adults. It is mostly found in the head and neck region, although uncommon in the jaw bones, where only a few lesions have been described. Radiographically, it may appear as a well-defined unilocular radiolucent entity simulating a cystic or odontogenic lesion. Histopatholog...

Myofibromas are mesenchymal tumors showing myofibroblastic differentiation and found most frequently in the head and neck region. While several cases of myofibromas have been reported in adults, they have not been described in long bones of the appendicular skeleton. We describe an otherwise healthy young woman who presented with a progressive incapacitating pain in her right shin. Imaging stud...

Myofibroma is an uncommon spindle cell neoplasmof rare incidence in oral cavity. Typically, this lesion is seen in neonates and infants with few cases reported in adults. In the oral cavity, myofibroma occurs within the submucosal or intramuscular tissue and has a predilection for the tongue, buccal mucosa and lips. Microscopically, a typical biphasic pattern can be observed. Misdiagnosis inclu...

Myofibroma is a benign tumor composed of myoid spindle cells. The prevalence of myofibroma in the oral cavity is very low, with the mandible being the most common site. This report describes an adult case of myofibroma that arose on the mandible and includes magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and positron emission tomography (PET) findings. On the MRI T1-weighted images, the tumor appeared with s...

Myofibroma, a benign neoplasm of the myofibroblasts, is most commonly encountered in the head and neck region, which includes the scalp, the forehead, the parotid region and the oral cavity. It is most rarely reported in the eyelids. Ocular myofibroma typically presents during childhood and it is rare in older patients. One such rare case which occurred in a 26 year old female with a clinical d...

SUMMARY A myofibroma is a benign proliferation of myofibroblasts in the connective tissue. Solitary myofibromas are a rare finding especially in an adult. We report a case of a 23-year-old man presenting with an enlarging mass over his right palm. The patient is an active weight lifter. He reported numbness and tingling in the median nerve distribution. Nerve conduction studies and magnetic res...

Myofibromas are benign uncommon fibroblastic tumors of the soft tissue, bone, or internal organs affecting all ages. These lesions histopathologically may mimic many other soft tissue tumors of the oral cavity such as spindle cell tumors of neurogenic and smooth muscle cell origin, thus leading to misdiagnosis and mistreatment. This case report describes a rare benign tumor, which presented as ...

This article is reporting a case of myofibroma involving the mandible of a 12-year-old boy. The patient did not have any swelling nor any redness but of partial mental nerve hypoesthesia. A panoramic radiograph demonstrated a globe like radiolucent lesion in the left angle of the mandible that was an increased uptake spot by FDG-PET. Incisional biopsies indicated myofibroma, therefore the tumor...
