Abstract

Myofibromas are rare benign tumors with myofibroblastic origin. They occur especially in cutis and subcutaneous tissue of the head and the neck, less frequently on the extremities. Myofibromas grow very slowly and are often painless, which is why patients often present relatively late. In the literature, there were many reports about intraosseous myofibromas of the craniofascial bones but reports of the trunk and extremities in adults are very rare. The authors present a very rare case of an intraosseous myofibroma of the ribs resulting in pathological fracture, including a research of literature from other cases of intraosseous myofibromas of the trunk or extremities.
