Myofibroma is a benign uncommon fibroblastic tumour originating from the soft tissue, bone and may affect both children and adults. Radiographically myofibroma presents as unilocular radiolucency. Histologically, typical biphasic cellular arrangement is noted. Immunohistochemical markers are useful for definitive diagnosis of this uncommon neoplasm. Here, a case of six-year-old male child with a localized swelling in the left body of mandible is presented. The clinical, radiological, histological and immunohistochemical findings were corroborative of Infantile Myofibroma.

Myofibroma is a rare mesenchymal tumor typically observed in children, with only a few reported cases in adults. It can be easily mistaken for more common benign lesions, making it essential to include them in the differential diagnosis of soft tissue masses. This case report presents a rare instance of myofibroma in a young adult, and a comprehensive review of the literature presenting case reports and case series of myofibroma cases in the head and neck regions of adult patients aged > 18 years.

Article Synopsis
- Solitary myofibromas are rare, benign tumors mostly found in the head and neck, but this report focuses on an unusual case of a solitary cardiac myofibroma in an infant.
- A two-month-old was diagnosed with a 2×1 cm mass on the mitral papillary muscle, leading to severe heart regurgitation; imaging techniques were used to assess the mass.
- Surgical removal was performed and the patient recovered well, with follow-up showing no recurrence of the tumor and minor regurgitation issues.

Background: The imaging manifestations of oral and maxillofacial myofibroma/myofibromatosis can vary among patients. Although many clinical cases have been reported, a consensus on the clinicopathological features of and treatment principles for this disease is lacking.
Purpose: This study aimed to summarize the clinicopathological features of solitary myofibroma of the oral and maxillofacial regions in pediatric patients.

Myofibroma (MF) is a benign neoplasm derived from myofibroblasts. While they are infrequent, these tumors are predominantly found in the pediatric group and seldom manifest as intraosseous mandibular tumors. Herein, we present a 9-year-old female with a radiolucent lesion in the left mandible associated with malposed left lower canine and 1st premolar teeth.

Neoplasms of the tongue are relatively common, and the vast majority are epithelial in phenotype. Although uncommon, a diverse and distinctive array of mesenchymal neoplasms arises in this anatomic site. To increase our understanding of these lesions, we reviewed our experience of MNs of the tongue and described their clinicopathologic features.
