Abstract

Solitary myofibroma is a recently described benign neoplasm of the skin or superficial soft tissue and it represents the adult counterpart of infantile myofibromatosis. This new clinicopathological entity is being recognized increasingly. A case of solitary myofibroma occurring in the pinna of a 50-year-old woman is presented. Such a lesion occurring in the pinna of an adult has not been reported in the literature.
