Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor is composed of myofibroblast and inflammatory cell infiltration of the tissue. Malign
transformation and recurrence rate of this tumor is rare and accepted as benign fibroinflammatory disease. The main etiology
is unclear, but infection, trauma, and immunologic event are accused. In this study, we presented a 75-year-old man with a mass
on his tongue, which was diagnosed as “inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor.” This type of tumor is rarely seen in the tongue and
might be difficult to diagnose. Complete mass excision was provided for an adaquete treatment.
