A solitary intraosseous myofibroma of mandible: A case report

Myofibroma is an uncommon benign mesenchymal neoplasm. Solitary myofibroma is common in soft tissues of head and neck, but rare in the jaw bones. Only a few sporadic cases of solitary myofibroma of mandible have been described. The aim of the present study was to present a clinical case of a patient with a myofibroma in mandible bone and its management. Differentiating this lesion from other benign and malignant neoplasms is crucial in deciding between a radical and a conservative treatment approach. We explained that diagnosis of myofibroma can be reached by a histopathologic and immunohistochemical analysis and surgical excision is the treatment of choice.
