# Intranodal palisaded myofibroblastoma in the submandibular gland region: a case report

## TL;DR

This case report describes a rare benign tumor in the submandibular gland region of a 31-year-old male, including MRI findings and pathology.

## Contribution

The report adds a rare case of IPM in the submandibular gland region to the medical literature.

## Key findings

- MRI showed a heterogeneous lesion with a hypointense rim in the left submandibular gland region.
- The case highlights the importance of considering IPM in differential diagnoses of lymph node lesions.

## Abstract

Intranodal palisaded myofibroblastoma (IPM) is a rare benign tumor of the lymph nodes, particularly in inguinal lymph nodes. IPM originating from the submandibular gland lymph nodes is rarely encountered in clinical practice. Herein, we report the case of a 31-year-old male patient with IPM of the submandibular gland region and describe in detail magnetic resonance imaging findings and pathology. Magnetic resonance imaging detected a heterogeneous lesion with a hypointense rim on T2-weighted imaging with specificity in the left submandibular gland region. This case report will contribute to the accumulation of experience in the diagnosis of this disease.
