Myofibroma and myofibromaiosis are uncommon, benign, mostly self-limiting, probably hamartomatous proliferation of myofibroblasts. These tumors are most often present at birth or before the age of 2 years with multiple ot solitary lesion. Adult cases are rare and most,ly showed as a solitary lesion. We present a case of solitary myofibroma that developed on the vertex of scalp in a 51-year-old man. The lesion was a mild tender and intermittent pruritic firm, pedunclated 1 1cm sized tumor. The iumor was diagnosed as myofibroma by light microscopy and immunohistochemistry.
