Abstract
|
|
|
|
A mammary-type myofibroblastoma is a rare benign mesenchymal neoplasm composed of spindle cells initially described to occur in the breast. However, they also arise at extra-mammary sites including the inguinal area, breast, chest wall/axilla, trunk, upper and lower extremities, and head and neck regions. In particular, mammary-type myofibroblastoma of the head and neck are extremely rare and may occur at any age. Immunohistochemically, it is typically CD34 and desmin positive. Currently, complete excision is considered as the first line treatment and recurrence of the tumor is rare. We experienced a 41-year-old man who visited with 1 cm sized firm mass of the tongue. The mass was resected and tissue biopsy revealed a diagnosis of mammary-type myofibroblastoma. Herein we report a rare case of mammary-type myofibroblastoma of the tongue with a review of the literature.
