AB - Myofibroma is a rare and benign mesenchymal tumor defined by a proliferation of myofibroblastic tissue,
most often affecting children. We report the clinical, radiological and histological features of a case of
myofibroma of the mandible in a 3-year-old-girl, followed by a systematic review to define the diagnostic
and therapeutic criteria.
The literature systematic review shows that the age of the patients was between a few weeks of life and the
end of adolescence. our case includes most of the parameters encountered in the literature. 86% of the tumors
affected the mandible versus 14% for the maxilla. Dental damages are possible. The clinical and radiological
aspects are not typical. Only the histological examination confirms the diagnosis. The first-line treatment
always includes surgical excision of the tumor. Recurrences are rare. This pathology requires the
intervention of a multidisciplinary team and a regular follow-up.
