Abstract EN
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 a soft tissue swelling on posterior gingiva.
Surgical excision of the lesion was carried out under local anaesthesia.
Histopathologic and immunohistochemical examination confirmed the diagnosis of myofibroma.
Myofibroma should be included in the clinical differential diagnosis of masses of the oral soft tissues; however immunohistochemical examination is essential to establish an accurate diagnosis.
