ABSTRACT
Leiomyosarcoma is a malignant neoplasm of smooth muscle origin. This tumor represents 5% to 10% of all soft tissue sarcomas and occurs mainly in the uterus, gastrointestinal tract, and retroperitoneum. Leiomyosarcoma of the tongue is extremely rare because there is limited smooth muscle in this area. To date, 7 cases of primary and one case of metastatic leiomyosarcoma have been reported concerting leiomyosarcoma of the tongue. Recently however, we experienced a case of leiomyosarcoma of the tongue in a 48-year-old woman who was considered initially as havire a benign tumor. So, we report here an additional case of leiomyosarcoma of the tongue with a review of literatures.
