Infantile Central Myofibroma of the Mandible: A case report

Myofibromas of the oral region has a marked propensity to involve soft tissues primarily tongue, buccal mucosa, palate and floor of the mouth[4, 5]. Intraosseous involvement is rarely encountered with the mandible being more commonly affected than maxilla[6]. Clinically, oral myofibroma usually presents as an asymptomatic pink mass or a swelling that interferes with mastication[1]. Central lesions may follow a more aggressive course displacing teeth or developing tooth follicles, causing tooth mobility or may evolve into an exophytic oral mass secondary to cortical perforation[1, 7 9].
