Oral cavity leiomyomas are rare smooth muscle tumors. This case highlights the need for wide surgical excision due to potential malignancy, despite a low recurrence rate for these oral tumors.

Area of Science:

  • Oral Pathology
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Leiomyomas are benign smooth muscle neoplasms, infrequently found in the oral cavity due to limited smooth muscle presence.
  • Literature review identified only 124 oral leiomyoma cases reported between 1884 and 1987, indicating rarity.

Observation:

  • Presents a new case of primary leiomyoma originating in the lower buccal sulcus.
  • This specific oral tumor location is uncommon for leiomyomas.

Findings:

  • Oral leiomyomas exhibit a low recurrence rate following treatment.
  • However, oral leiomyomas demonstrate a higher propensity for malignancy compared to leiomyomas in other body sites.

Implications:

  • Wide surgical excision is the recommended treatment approach for oral leiomyomas.
