Low-grade myofibroblastic sarcoma of the palate
摘要
Low-grade myofibroblastic sarcoma(LGMS) is a rare,malignant tumor with myofibroblastic differentiation.Despite it being classified as a distinct entity by the World Health Organization,a few cases were reported in the oral and maxillofacial region.Here,a LGMS developed on the palate of a 73-year-old man who presented with a 1-cm tumor on the posterior border of the palate.Based on the histological and immunohistochemical features,a diagnosis of LGMS was established.The tumor was resected,and no recurrence was observed over 2 years.Although the tongue is the most preferred site for LGMS,it may occur in any region of the oral cavity.
