“…It also tends to affect patients at a mean of 31.2 years of age [10]. Oral myofibroma, which may also occur in adults, commonly affects infants [11]. Oral lipomas, which frequently appear with a yellowish tinge and a soft consistency, predominantly affect the buccal mucosa and are more common in patients between 40 and 60 years of age [12].…”

“…Schwannoma, neurofibroma, myofibroma, and lipoma consist of smooth-surfaced, slow-growing, asymptomatic masses of variable size [9][10][11][12], representing the clinical feature of the current case. The peak of incidence in schwannoma commonly occurs between the third and sixth decades of life and tends to show a predilection for the palate [9].…”

Desmoplastic fibroblastoma is a rare, benign, soft tissue tumor affecting mainly the subcutaneous and muscle tissue. Only five cases identified in the oral cavity have been reported in prior literature. This article presents a case report of a 56-year-old man, with no previous history of trauma, who presented a slow-growing mass in the buccal mucosa. Histopathology and immunohistochemistry staining studies were performed, and a diagnosis of the desmoplastic fibroblastoma was made. The patient has been disease-free for one year.

Myofibromas are benign neoplasms of myofibroblastic origin, rarely encountered in the oral cavity. Limited awareness of the clinical features of these lesions risks misdiagnosis of more sinister pathology. The objective of this report is to highlight the potential diversity of oral lesions by describing an uncommon presentation of a myofibroma. The case reveals the diagnostic difficulties encountered, along with postoperative complications, which exemplify the remarkable healing capacity of the oral cavity.

“…The authors reviewed 307 nonodontogenic spindle cell neoplasms accessioned over a 20-year period from an oral pathology service and observed that only 8 cases were diagnosed as myofibroma. In a recent review of English language literature, Vered et al (6) found only 41 cases of oral soft tissue myofibroma. Typically, this lesion is seen in neonates and infants with few cases reported in adults patients.…”

Myofibroma is an uncommon spindle cell neoplasm rarely found in oral cavity. Typically, this lesion is seen in neonates and infants with few cases reported in adults patients. In the oral cavity, myofibroma occurs within the submucosal or intramuscular tissue and has a predilection by the tongue, buccal mucosa and lips. Microscopically, a typical biphasic pattern can be observed. Misdiagnosis included benign and malignant spindle cell lesions of nerve tissue or smooth muscle origin, such as neurofibroma, leiomyoma and sarcomas. Thus, immunohistochemical staining is a useful tool to identify the nature of neoplastic cells and to reach an accurate diagnosis. An immunohistochemical panel consisting of antibodies to vimentin, SMA, HHF-35, S-100p and desmin must be achieved. In most cases, positivity for vimentin, SMA and HHF-25 can be observed. Our report describes a solitary myofibroma of the tongue of a 23-year-old man with emphasis in clinical, histopathological and immunohistochemical features of this lesion.
