Leiomyoma is a benign smooth muscle tumor that frequently occurs in the uterine myometrium of the uterus and gastrointestinal tract rarely but seldom encountered in the oral cavity, particularly in children. Its occurrence in the oral cavity is considered rare probably because of the scarcity of smooth muscle tissue in the oral cavity. The frequently affected anatomical areas intraorally are lips, palate and tongue. The purpose of this case report is to put forth a rare case of oral leiomyoma in a 10-year-old girl child involving the retromolar region.

This study presents a case of an oral angioleiomyoma along with its clinical diagnostic approach and laboratory confirmation. The differential diagnosis, especially from angioleiomyosarcoma, is also included. A 51-year-old patient presented with a tumor-like lesion on his upper labial mucosa. The clinical examination revealed a benign lesion that was surgically removed. Histopathological and immunohistochemical examinations confirmed the diagnosis of an oral angioleiomyoma. The post-surgical period was uneventful. No recurrence had occurred after a year of follow-up surveillance. Oral angioleiomyoma is a very rarely occurring oral lesion. Clinically, it may mimic some benign lesions, including fibroma, pyogenic granuloma or minor salivary gland tumor. Surgical excision is the treatment of choice. Histological and immunohistochemical examination can confirm the diagnosis. The differential diagnosis is crucial to rule out angioleiomyosarcoma.

“…There are histological variations (clear cell, epithelioid, granular cell, and myxoid changes) and secondary degenerative changes (hyaline degeneration, cystic change, myxoid degeneration, infection, necrosis, and calcification) in leiomyoma of the oral cavity and head and neck region. It is thought that these changes result from deficient blood supply, leading to a replacement of muscle fibers by collagen, hyaline material, calcium, mucopolysaccharide, or a combination of these factors (13,14).…”
