ABSTRACT
Leiomyosarcoma is a malignant mesenchymal tumor that is relatively common in the uterus, the gastrointestinal tract, and the retroperitoneum. Only 3 to 10% of leiomyosarcomas arise in the head and neck. A review of the English-language literature since 1908 revealed 11 cases of primary and one case of metastatic leiomyosarcoma of the gingiva. We report on a case of leiomyosarcoma that arose in a 34-year old male, affecting the mandibular gingiva.
