AI Article Synopsis
- Angioleiomyoma is a rare type of tumor primarily found in the extremities but can occur in various body parts, including the oral cavity and brain.
- Diagnosis requires histopathologic examination through biopsy, along with specific staining techniques to differentiate it from other vascular tumors like hemangioma and angiosarcoma.
- Surgical resection is the standard treatment, showing extremely low recurrence rates, as demonstrated in a case involving a 45-year-old man with angioleiomyoma of the cheek, which had a smooth postoperative recovery.
Article Abstract
Angioleiomyoma is a form of subcutaneous vascular leiomyoma that usually occurs in the extremities. Leiomyoma of the oral cavity represents only 0.4% of soft tissue neoplasms and 0.06% of leiomyomas. Isolated cases of angioleiomyoma have been reported in the knee and lower thigh, gastrointestinal tract, genital and renal tract, and brain. Histopathologic examination by biopsy is necessary to establish a diagnosis, and immunohistochemical staining, along with conventional hematoxylin-eosin staining, is important. The differential diagnosis includes hemangioma and angiosarcoma. At present, surgical resection is the standard therapy for leiomyoma, and recurrence is extremely rare. We report a rare case of angioleiomyoma of the cheek in a 45-year-old man. The postoperative course was uneventful, without complications.

Angioleiomyoma is a benign neoplasia originating from vascular smooth muscle and very uncommon in the oral cavity. In this report, we present a rare case of angioleiomyoma in oral cavity in a 46-year-old female buccal cheek and discuss the clinical, histological, and immunohistochemical characteristics. As the treatment of choice is the complete excision, the lesion was excised under local anesthesia with no further complications.

Angioleiomyoma (AL) is an uncommon benign soft tissue neoplasia arising from the tunica media of the smooth muscle cells. AL appears as a solitary and slow-growing mass and seldom is observed in oral tissues. We reported a rare case of AL involving the cheek of a 17-year-old young woman.
