ABSTRACT
Leiomyoma is a benign smooth muscle tumor that can be classified into three types solid, vascular and ephithelioid leiomyoma. This disease occurs most frequently in the uterus, gastrointestinal tract and skin. The oral cavity is an unusual site for a leiomyoma and occurrence in the hard palate is very rare because there is so little smooth muscle tissue present in this region. Clinically, oral leiomyomas usually grow slowly and are asymptomatic firm superficial nodule like lesions, although occasional tumors can be painful. The diagnosis and treatment of oral leiomyoma is possible with complete surgical excision and histological studies by special specific stains. Recently, we experienced a 60-year-old man with 6 month history of soft mass on the hard palate. He underwent surgical resection. Pathological analysis confirmed vascular leiomyoma. Here, we report this case with review of literature.
