Abstract
Myofibromas are benign neoplasms of myofibroblastic origin, rarely encountered in the oral cavity. Limited awareness of the clinical features of these lesions risks misdiagnosis of more sinister pathology. The objective of this report is to highlight the potential diversity of oral lesions by describing an uncommon presentation of a myofibroma. The case reveals the diagnostic difficulties encountered, along with postoperative complications, which exemplify the remarkable healing capacity of the oral cavity.Entities:
