R L Corio, D M Lewis

    Summary

    Intraoral rhabdomyomas are rare benign tumors primarily affecting adult males, often appearing in the floor of the mouth. While microscopically distinct, these tumors can be misdiagnosed and may recur after incomplete surgical removal.

    Area of Science:

    • Oral Pathology
    • Head and Neck Oncology
    • Surgical Pathology

    Background:

    • Rhabdomyomas are rare benign tumors of striated muscle.
    • Intraoral rhabdomyomas are exceptionally uncommon, with limited case series available.
    • Accurate diagnosis and understanding of behavior are crucial for patient management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the literature and report additional cases of intraoral rhabdomyomas.
    • To analyze the clinicopathological features, behavior, and prognosis of these tumors.
    • To highlight diagnostic challenges and potential for recurrence.

    Main Methods:

    • Comprehensive literature review of intraoral rhabdomyomas.
    • Retrospective analysis of 13 cases from the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology.
    • Evaluation of clinical presentation, histopathology, and follow-up data.

    Main Results:

    • A total of 29 cases (16 literature + 13 AFIP) were analyzed.
    • The neoplasm predominantly affected adults (mean age 56 years) with a male predominance (M:F > 2:1).
    • Common sites included the floor of the mouth, soft palate, tongue, and buccal mucosa; 30% of cases recurred.

    Conclusions:

    • Intraoral rhabdomyomas, despite characteristic microscopic features, are frequently misinterpreted.
    • Tumor size, clinical presentation, and growth pattern may indicate prognosis.
    • Complete surgical excision is essential to prevent recurrence.
