Abstract

Abstract : Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to report a rare patient of oral myofibroma in a 12-year old patient and to describe its clinical, histopathologic, and immunohistochemical features to establish the correct diagnosis and surgical management. Pathological and immunohistochemical examination is a mandatory method for establishing a definitive diagnosis of this lesion avoiding unnecessary treatment. Surgical excision and careful postoperative observation should be a treatment option.
