Abstract (original English)

Plexiform fibrohistiocytic tumor (PFHT) is a rare mesenchymal neoplasm of intermediate malignancy, first reported by Enzinger and Zhang in 1988 [1]. It mainly affects children and young adults and preferentially involves the upper extremity [1, 2].We report a rare case in the submandibular region which was diagnosed on histopathology.
