Leiomyoma is a rare tumor of smooth muscle origin with a very low incidence in the maxillofacial region. Intraosseous occurrence of oral leiomyoma is even rare with involvement of mandible followed by maxilla.
The purpose of this paper is to present a case of intraosseous leiomyoma of the left mandibular angle region with the review of literature describing this rare entity. The paper also highlights the need to include this entity in differential diagnoses of jaw lesions.
An extensive search of literature was carried out on the Medline-Pubmed and Google Scholar database using the keywords leiomyoma, maxilla, mandible, oral and palate to thoroughly search and collect all the reported cases of intraosseous leiomyoma.
To the best of our knowledge till date only 22 cases of intraosseous leiomyoma have been reported in the maxillomandibular region we represent the 23rd case of the intraosseous leiomyoma in a 36 year old male patient.
Though uncommon but it is known to occur in the jaws therefore intraosseous leiomyoma should be included in the list of differential diagnoses of radiolucent lesion of mandible and maxilla.
平滑肌瘤是一种罕见的起源于平滑肌的肿瘤，在颌面部区域发病率极低。口腔平滑肌瘤发生于骨内的情况更为罕见，以下颌骨受累最为常见，其次是上颌骨。
本文旨在报告一例左下颌角区域骨内平滑肌瘤病例，并对描述这一罕见疾病的文献进行综述。本文还强调了在颌骨病变鉴别诊断中纳入该疾病的必要性。
在Medline-Pubmed和谷歌学术数据库中使用关键词平滑肌瘤、上颌骨、下颌骨、口腔和腭进行广泛的文献检索，以全面搜索和收集所有已报道的骨内平滑肌瘤病例。
据我们所知，迄今为止在颌面部区域仅报道了22例骨内平滑肌瘤病例，我们报告的是一名36岁男性患者的第23例骨内平滑肌瘤病例。
虽然罕见，但已知其可发生于颌骨，因此骨内平滑肌瘤应列入下颌骨和上颌骨透光性病变的鉴别诊断清单中。
