Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumour (inflammatory pseudotumor) is an idiopathic lesion, rare in the head and neck, of unknown aetiology. It is primarily a soft tissue, lung and orbital condition. In the world literature, only two cases with tonsillar disease have been found. We report a case of a 10-year-old girl admitted to our hospital with clinical complaints of pain in the neck region, cough with vomiting, dyspnoea and dyslexia. Clinical examination revealed halitosis and a neoformation dependent on the left tonsil. Bilateral tonsillectomy was performed.

Desmoid-type fibromatosis (DTF) is a locally invasive tumor composed of myofibroblast-like cells and collagen; it does not metastasize but can cause significant local morbidity. Most sporadic cases are associated with mutations in the CTNNB1 gene, which encodes beta-catenin. Various treatments have been used with differing efficacy and toxicity profiles.

Low-grade myofibroblastic sarcoma is an uncommon malignancy that can be difficult to identify and for which there is no unified treatment protocol. We report herein a case of an 81-year-old male who presented with a giant irregular breast mass and was diagnosed with low-grade myofibroblastic sarcoma. In this study we summarise the clinicopathological features of 13 reported cases of myofibroblastic sarcoma arising in the breast, present the diagnostic process and treatment procedure of our case, and discuss the differential diagnosis from other similar diseases, to provide constructive information and promote deep understanding of myofibroblastic sarcoma in the future.

Desmoid fibromatosis (DF) is a rare low-grade benign myofibroblastic neoplasm that originates from fascia and muscle striae. For giant chest wall DF, surgical resection offer a radical form of treatment and the causing defects usually need repair and reconstruction, which can restore the structural integrity and rigidity of the thoracic cage. The past decade witnessed rapid advances in the application of various prosthetic material in thoracic surgery.
