Summary
Enoral submucosal pseudosarcomatous fasciitis is a rare, rapidly growing oral lesion. Simple surgical excision is curative, preventing malignancy and spread, and avoiding unnecessary extensive treatments.
Area of Science:
- Oral pathology
- Surgical oncology
- Diagnostic challenges in dentistry
Background:
- Pseudosarcomatous fasciitis (PSF) is a rare, benign soft tissue proliferation.
- While typically occurring in subcutaneous tissues, enoral (oral cavity) localization is infrequently reported.
- Accurate diagnosis is crucial to differentiate from malignant mesenchymal tumors.
Observation:
- A case of enoral submucosal pseudosarcomatous fasciitis is presented.
- The lesion exhibited rapid, localized invasive growth but remained self-limiting.
- The tumor size typically does not exceed 1-2 cm in diameter.
Findings:
- Surgical excision of the oral pseudosarcomatous fasciitis was performed.
- No evidence of malignant transformation or metastatic spread was observed post-excision.
- Complete tumor removal was achieved through simple surgical excision.
Implications:
- Knowledge of this entity is vital for differential diagnosis of oral tumors.
- Prevents misdiagnosis as a malignant mesenchymal tumor, avoiding overly aggressive surgical interventions.
- Simple excision is the definitive and adequate treatment for enoral pseudosarcomatous fasciitis.
