Area of Science:

Oral pathology
Oncology
Vascular tumors

Background:

Intrabony leiomyomas are rare benign tumors originating from smooth muscle tissue.
These tumors typically present as asymptomatic swellings in the jawbone.

Observation:

A 54-year-old male patient presented with a symptomless swelling in the right mandibular molar region.
Radiographic examination revealed a multilocular radiolucency associated with the swelling.

Findings:

Histologic and ultrastructural analyses confirmed the lesion as a vascular leiomyoma.
This represents the fourth reported case of an intrabony leiomyoma within the jaws.

Implications:

This case contributes to the limited literature on intraosseous vascular leiomyomas of the jaw.

Accurate diagnosis requires a combination of clinical, radiographic, and histopathological evaluation.

Further research may elucidate the specific etiology and behavior of these rare jaw tumors.
