Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is a benign lesion that occurs most frequently in the soft tissues and viscera. In the head and neck region, the tumor has been reported to occur in the orbit, tongue, nasopharynx, larynx, and paranasal sinuses and the central nervous system. Despite being a benign lesion, it exhibits infiltrative and destructive behaviours, making histopathological examination necessary to confirm the diagnosis. We report the case of a 38-year-old female presented with a right nasolabial fold mass, which was confirmed histologically to be an IMT. Surgical excision of the mass was achieved through a sublabial approach with an uneventful postoperative period. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of an IMT in the nasolabial fold.
炎性肌纤维母细胞瘤（IMT）是一种良性病变，最常发生于软组织和内脏。在头颈部区域，据报道该肿瘤可发生于眼眶、舌、鼻咽、喉、鼻窦及中枢神经系统。尽管是良性病变，但它具有浸润性和破坏性，因此需要进行组织病理学检查以确诊。我们报告一例38岁女性患者，其右侧鼻唇沟出现肿物，经组织学检查确诊为IMT。通过唇下入路成功切除肿物，术后恢复顺利。据我们所知，这是首例报道的鼻唇沟炎性肌纤维母细胞瘤病例。
