Leiomyoma is benign tumour arising from smooth muscle that occurs between 40 and 49 years of age. Leiomyomas are a rare entity in the oral cavity and if present they are usually localized on tongue, lips and palate. Leiomyoma appears to be well-defined mass, with slow growth. The treatment is surgical excision. We report a 10-year girl child, with a lump in the right retromolar trigone region intraorally. Excisional biopsy performed under general anaesthesia revealed the specimen to be a leiomyoma. The low incidence of this pathology, the age of the patient and the location are unusual.
平滑肌瘤是一种起源于平滑肌的良性肿瘤，常见于40至49岁之间。平滑肌瘤在口腔中是一种罕见的疾病，若有发生，通常位于舌、唇和腭部。平滑肌瘤表现为边界清晰的肿块，生长缓慢。治疗方法为手术切除。我们报告一例10岁女童，口腔内右磨牙后三角区有一肿物。在全身麻醉下进行切除活检，结果显示标本为平滑肌瘤。这种病理情况的低发病率、患者年龄以及发病部位均不常见。
