Phenotypic heterogeneity has been a complex phenomenon lately, fetching attention in tumour pathology. Myofibroblastic differentiation is one such example and, besides, functional heterogeneity contributes to the biological behaviour of the tumours. Myofibroma is a distinctive neoplasm of myofibroblasts with a low incidence rate in the oral cavity. A case of myofibroma in mandibular alveolus in an adult patient is reported here for its rarity and diagnostic dilemma.
近年来,表型异质性一直是一个复杂的现象,在肿瘤病理学中备受关注。肌成纤维细胞分化就是这样一个例子,此外,功能异质性也影响肿瘤的生物学行为。肌纤维瘤是一种独特的肌成纤维细胞肿瘤,在口腔中的发病率较低。本文报告一例成年患者下颌牙槽突肌纤维瘤,因其罕见性及诊断困境。
