Abstract

Bharati Patil, Abhisheak R Naik and Dhanalakshmi T

Low-grade myofibroblastic sarcoma (LGMS) is a rare, mesenchymal malignant tumor with myofibroblastic differentiation. It has been reclassified as a distinct entity in the newly published World Health Organization classification. Only a few cases have been reported in the oral and maxillofacial region. Here, a LGMS developed in the right retromolar region of a 12-year-old boy who presented with a mass of 2.5 cm × 1 cm × 1 cm size. Based on the histological and immunohistochemical findings, a diagnosis of LGMS was established. The tumor was resected, and no recurrence was observed over one year. Follow-up is essential for early recognition and intervention of late recurrence and metastases.
