Myxoinflammatory fibroblastic sarcoma of the submandibular gland

Abstract

Myxoinflammatory fibroblastic sarcoma (MIFS) is a rare low-grade soft tissue tumor, it usually affecting the distal extremities. Upon conducting a literature review, we could not find a case of MIFS in the submandibular gland. In this study, we described a 44-year-old female patient who presented to our clinic with a complaint of swelling under the left side of her submandibular region that had persisted for eight months. Due to an initial diagnosis of submandibular gland neoplasm, the gland was totally excised. The pathological examination report indicated MIFS, and therefore, the patient was recommended to attend periodic follow-up visits.
