Inflammatory Myofibroblastic Tumor is a rare neoplasm of unknown etiology and pathogenesis. It clinically manifest as mass with rapid development that may occur at almost any site of body, but rarely arise in oral cavity. The lesion has a potential for recurrence, persistent local growth, progression to frank sarcoma and metastasis. We hereby describe a case of Inflammatory Myofibroblastic Tumor of mandible occurring in a 45 year old lady. Because of some aggressive clinical, histological, and radiological features, this lesion may be confused with a malignant tumor. Therefore, its correct recognition is important to avoid unnecessary extensive and radical therapeutic approaches.
