Unusual benign smooth muscle lesions of the tongue: review and report of two cases.

Benign smooth muscle proliferations are relatively rare in the oral cavity. Most are classified as angioleiomyomas, some as hamartomatous growths and a few as cutaneous-type leiomyomas. We present two cases of benign smooth muscle proliferations in the tongue, provide a review, briefly discuss histogenesis and offer a clinico-pathological differential diagnosis.
