Leiomyoma is a benign smooth muscle tumour, that occurs most frequently in the uterine myometrium, gastrointestinal tract, skin and lower extremities of middle-aged women. Leiomyomas are uncommon in the oral cavity, but in this location are usually localized on the tongue, lips and palate. Most lesions are asymptomatic, although occasional tumours can be painful. The diagnosis is mainly determined by histological studies due to its unspecific clinical appearance.The purpose of this article is to present a case report of 49-year-old male patient with a lesion of the lower lip. After surgical resection hematoxylin-eosin staining confirmed the diagnosis of leiomyoma.
平滑肌瘤是一种良性平滑肌肿瘤,最常发生于中年女性的子宫肌层、胃肠道、皮肤和下肢。平滑肌瘤在口腔中并不常见,但在此部位通常位于舌、唇和腭部。大多数病变无症状,尽管偶尔的肿瘤可能会疼痛。由于其临床外观不具特异性,诊断主要通过组织学研究确定。本文的目的是报告一例49岁下唇病变男性患者的病例。手术切除后苏木精-伊红染色确诊为平滑肌瘤。
