Abstract
Myofibromas are benign mesenchymal tumors that are commonly found in the dermis and subcutaneous tissues of the head and neck. Although most lesions are recognized daring infancy and early childhood, several cases have been reported in older children and adults. We describe the case of a 9-year-old girl who presented with a solitary nodule in the left cheek and a history of minor trauma. Preoperative imaging detected the presence of a subcutaneous soft-tissue mass consistent with a soft-tissue neoplasm rather than a hematoma. Analysis of fine-needle aspiration material was nondiagnostic. Incisional biopsy revealed that the lesion was a myofibroma.
