Abstract EN
Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is a benign lesion that occurs most frequently in the soft tissues and viscera.
In the head and neck region, the tumor has been reported to occur in the orbit, tongue, nasopharynx, larynx, and paranasal sinuses and the central nervous system.
Despite being a benign lesion, it exhibits infiltrative and destructive behaviours, making histopathological examination necessary to confirm the diagnosis.
We report the case of a 38-year-old female presented with a right nasolabial fold mass, which was confirmed histologically to be an IMT.
Surgical excision of the mass was achieved through a sublabial approach with an uneventful postoperative period.
To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of an IMT in the nasolabial fold.
