Abstract EN
Myofibroma is a rare benign neoplasm occurring in the head and neck, arising primarily in infants and children.
Frequently, myofibromas grow rapidly leading to suspicion of malignancy and the potential for overaggressive surgical excision.
We aim to report a rare case of myofibroma with ulceration and bone destruction.
A nine-year-old female presented with an ulcerated left hard palate mass.
Open biopsy was performed with pathology suggestive of myofibroma.
A left partial maxillectomy and reconstruction with a buccal advancement flap were performed.
Final pathology confirmed the diagnosis of a benign myofibroma.
Myofibroma is a rare benign tumor of the head and neck which must be considered in the differential diagnosis by the clinician and the pathologist in order to prevent inappropriate and/or overaggressive treatment.
