Title: Nasolabial fold inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (Rare presentation): Case report and literature review

Biography

Biography: Haya Fahad AlZamami

Abstract

The inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor is a benign lesion. It occurs most frequently in soft tissues and viscera. In the head and neck region the tumor was reported in the orbit, tongue, naso pharynx, larynx, paranasal sinuses, intramandibular and the central nervous system. Although it is a benign lesion it has some infiltrative and destructive behavior, which necessitates a histopathological examination to confirm the diagnosis. We report a case of 38 years old lady presented to King Fahad University Hospital in July 2014 with right nasolabial fold mass, which was confirmed histologically as an Inflammatory Myofibroblastic Tumor (IMT). Surgical excision of the mass was done by a sublabial approach with a smooth postoperative period. Up to our knowledge, this is the first reported case of IMT in the nasolabial fold.
