Abstract:
A case of angioleiomyoma of the tongue is detailed. The patient sought treatment for a painless, rubbery mass of 10 years duration. The tumor was unusual, appearing bilobed, with the dorsal aspect whitish in color and a blue ventral component. Occasional episodes of numbness were noted. Biopsy of the lesion demonstrated bundles of smooth muscle cells surrounding numerous vascular spaces. The patient was lost to follow-up; as a result, a complete surgical excision of the tumor was not performed.
