“…The histologic features of CFTs are reasonably distinct and usually allow easy recognition from other reactive or benign neoplastic lesions that one might consider in the differential diagnosis. The most common are IMT, [18] ( Table 1), desmoid fibromatosis, [19] nodular fasciitis, [20] and solitary fibrous tumor [21] (Table 2). Other oral lesions that should be distinguished from CFT are: desmoplastic fibroblastoma [22], true fibroma [23], giant cell fibroma, [24] irritation fibroma [25] and amyloidoma [26] (Table 2).…”

Calcifying fibrous pseudotumor (CFT) is a rare distinct soft-tissue lesion characterized histologically by lymphoplasmacytic aggregates in a rich collagenized background with abundant psammomatous and dystrophic calcifications. Occurring most often in children and young adults, CFTs are clinically benign lesions that can form over a broad anatomic distribution, including in subcutaneous and deep soft tissues, as well as in serosal and visceral locations. The cause and mechanisms of pathogenesis of CFT are unknown. Simple excision with a margin of normal tissue is the treatment of choice. The risk for local recurrence is low. In this article, we describe a case of CFT in a 29-year-old woman with a 7-cm mass on the right upper gingiva and hard palate, discuss the differential diagnosis with other oral spindle cell lesions, such as, desmoid fibromatosis, nodular fasciitis, inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors, solitary fibrous tumor and also review the recent literature on this rare benign entity.

Desmoid-type fibromatosis rarely occurs in the oral tongue. Diagnostic imaging, including ultrasound, is useful for delineating the extent of the lesion and can aid in treatment planning. However, definitive diagnosis is made based on the characteristic histologic features, which include cytologically bland spindle cells with surrounding collagenous matrix and minimal mitotic activity. Immunohistochemical analysis of these lesions reveals that they are classically positive, at least focally, for smooth muscle actin, calponin and muscle-specific actin. These features are exemplified in this sine qua non radiology-pathology correlation article.
