“…This diagnosis is hardly considered when a slow-growing, non-ulcerated asymptomatic mass is observed on the lip. Moreover, the labial lesions may present a varied clinical appearance with no specific diagnostic aspects (Table 1), which lead to a wide range of misdiagnosis, including mucocele (7,8,16,26,35,(37)(38)(39)(40)(41)(42), hemangioma (7,8,25,35,43,44), pleomorphic adenoma, (7,26,45,46), canalicular adenoma (7), neurofibroma (26), oral fibroma (23,26), fibrous hyperplasia (7), giant cell granuloma, pyogenic granuloma (23), hyperkeratosis, and papilloma (8).…”

Vascular Leiomyoma (VL) is a benign soft tissue tumor rarely observed in oral tissues. The aim of this paper is to present a new case of vascular leiomyoma of the lip (VLL), describing its clinical, microscopical, and immunohistochemical features, and review the literature on the tumor. A 27-year-old woman presented with a small painful lesion on lower lip mucosa. Excisional biopsy revealed a well-circumscribed, encapsulated mass formed by small and fusiform cells. Immunohistochemistry analysis revealed intense and diffuse expression of smooth muscle actin (SMA) within the tumor cells and CD34 immunoreactivity of the endothelial cells lining the vascular spaces, indicating the presence of blood vessels. A final diagnosis of VLL was established. No signs of recurrence were observed after five years of follow-up. Although VLL is a rare lesion, it must be considered in the differential diagnosis of nodular lesions on lower and upper lips.

Tumors of smooth muscle origin are rare in the oral cavity. To date, only eighty-three cases of oral leiomyomas have been reported. A first case of tonsillar leiomyoma in a 73-year-old male is presented. The theories of origin and the various histologic types of oral leiomyomas are discussed. Leiomyoma can easily be confused with other spindle-cell tumours. Special stains are necessary to reach a correct diagnosis. It is sometimes difficult to differentiate benign leiomyoma from malignant leiomyosarcoma. The use of mitotic figure count to indicate malignant behaviour is not always reliable. The need for wide surgical excision of the tumour, complete sectioning and examination of the specimen and meticulous follow-up of the patient for evidence of recurrence are emphasized.

We report on a 48-year old female patient presenting with a spherical firm tumour that developed within a period of about three weeks. No causative trauma could be assessed. The tumour was surgically removed and turned out to be a leiomyosarcoma of the tongue. Probably the tumour originated from the vascular smooth muscle cells. Clinically this very rare tumour of the tongue must be differentiated from various benign and malignant mesenchymal neoplasms. Therapeutic considerations and differential diagnosis are discussed in reviewing the literature.
