Leiomyoma is a benign tumor of smooth muscle origin that rarely occurs in the oral cavity. Of the 118 cases occurring in the oral cavity described since 1884, only five involved the mandible. This is a case of an intraosseous leiomyoma in a 9-year old child, who presented to our attention with a firm intraoral mass, involving the angle and the posterior portion of the left mandibular body. The patient was treated with local incision alone, preserving the permanent dental germs and the left inferior alveolar nerve. He remained disease free with regular follow-up for 40 months.
平滑肌瘤是一种起源于平滑肌的良性肿瘤，很少发生于口腔。自1884年以来描述的118例发生于口腔的病例中，仅有5例累及下颌骨。本文报道1例9岁儿童的骨内平滑肌瘤，患儿因口腔内左侧下颌角及下颌体后部一质地硬的肿物前来就诊。该患者仅接受了局部切除，保留了恒牙胚及左下牙槽神经。定期随访40个月，患者无疾病复发。
