Tumefactive fibroinflammatory lesions are rare idiopathic benign fibrosclerosant lesions that clinically and radiologically simulate malignancy. These lesions have a high recurrence rate, so patients should be monitored for the long term. We present a case of a 87 years old patient who came to the emergency room with a 1-month history of an expansive maxilary lesion. A biopsy was performed with result of tumefactive fibroinflammatory lesion.

Keywords : Head and neck tumors; tumefactive fibroinflammatory lesions.
