Abstract EN
Intranodal palisaded myofibroblastoma (IPM), also known as “intranodal hemorrhagic spindle cell tumor with amianthoid fibers,” is a rare benign mesenchymal tumor originating from smooth muscle cells and myofibroblasts, often with the presence of amianthoid fibers.
Usually IPM affects inguinal lymph nodes, but three cases have been described in the submandibular and cervical lymph nodes.
We report a new case of a 44-year-old women with submandibular mass.
Cervical ultrasound showed a suspect right submandibular adenomegaly.
The patient underwent an excision of the submandibular mass.
Histological features of the tumor include an encapsulated fusocellular proliferation, with nuclear palisading, amianthoid fibers, hemosiderin pigment, and extravasated erythrocytes.
In the light of these results, we made the diagnosis of IPM.
No recurrence was found 5 years after surgery.
