AI Article Synopsis
- Intraosseous leiomyomas are extremely rare tumors, with this case being the first documented instance found in a rib.
- These tumors are benign and should be considered in the differential diagnosis for small intraosseous lesions that show benign imaging characteristics.
- Signs of gradually worsening and long-standing pain in patients may indicate the presence of such a tumor.
Article Abstract
Intraosseous leiomyomas are very rare. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first published case of primary intraosseous leiomyoma in a rib. This rare benign tumour should be included in the differential diagnosis of any relatively small intraosseous lesion with benign imaging findings, but with gradually worsening, long-standing pain.

The leiomyoma is a benign smooth-muscle neoplasm commonly found in the female genital tract, gastrointestinal tract, or skin. Leiomyomas of the oral cavity are unusual. Oral leiomyomas are uncommon due to the paucity of the smooth muscle in the mouth (except in blood vessels) and thus the involvement of jaw bones is extremely rare.

Background: This is the first reported case of a primary intraosseous angioleiomyoma and the second case of a primary leiomyoma of the rib, irrespective of age. Angioleiomyomas mostly occur in patients of advanced age, in any part of the body, particularly the lower extremities and present as painful, slow-growing nodules in the dermis, subcutaneous fat or deep fascia. Other localizations, especially bone, are considered extremely rare, as well as their occurrence in paediatric patients.
