Intraosseous Myofibroma of the Mandible: A Case Report

Abstract: ABSTRACT:The myofibroma is defined as a benign neoplasm formed by myoid contractile cells localized around the wall of thin blood vessels, it is a tumor that presents itself mostly in infancy although it may occur at any age and it is most common in head and neck; it is uncommon to be localized in the oral cavity and even less common if it is intraosseous. It may also be associated to miofibromatosis or present itself as a solitary lesion. The differential diagnosis depends on the localization and the radiogra… Show more

“…Myofibroma is a rare benign lesion of myoid contractile spindle cells, affecting both soft tissues and bone in children. It has two distinct clinical presentations: solitary and multicentric [ 1 , 2 , 3 ]. Solitary myofibroma in the oral and maxillofacial region is uncommon (accounts for 2% of all cases) and usually affects the oral and peri-oral soft tissues [ 4 ].…”

“…Solitary myofibroma in the oral and maxillofacial region is uncommon (accounts for 2% of all cases) and usually affects the oral and peri-oral soft tissues [ 4 ]. Intra-osseous myofibroma (IM) of the jaw bones is sporadic and shows a predilection for the lower jaw [ 3 , 5 ]. Due to its rare nature, combined with the nonspecific clinical, radiographic and histologic features, this lesion runs the risk of being misdiagnosed as a malignant and/or aggressive spindle cell neoplasm [ 1 , 2 , 6 , 7 ].…”

“…Миофиброма -редкое доброкачественное поражение сократительных веретенообразных клеток, поражающее как мягкие ткани, так и кости у детей. Она имеет две различные клинические формы: одиночную и генерализованную [1][2][3] Точная этиология заболевания неизвестна, в большинстве публикаций сообщается о единичных случаях, однако в некоторых исследованиях сообщается о возможности наследования как аутосомно-доминантного или рецессивного признака.…”

“…Внутриутробное воздействие эстрогена также может привести к развитию таких поражений у детей. Другие авторы предполагают, что генетические аберрации с аутосомным или рецессивным типом наследования могут способствовать возникновению этой опухоли [3].…”
