The Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is a heterogeneous group of rare lesions consisting predominantly of inflammatory cells and myofibroblastic spindle cells. Head and neck IMTs account for 14 to 18% of extra-pulmonary IMTs [lungs being the most commonly affected regions]. On account of its ambiguous clinical presentation, an IMT needs to be differentiated from other infectious, granulomatous, autoimmune and neoplastic lesions on the basis of histopathologic findings and immunohistochemical analysis. In this article, we report a case of IMT that presented in the anterior mandible that was treated by peripheral resection. Follow-up at 1 year showed satisfactory healing and no signs of recurrence. A special emphasis has been placed on the disputed nosology of this lesion and the latest therapeutic modalities.
