Abstract

Vascular leiomyoma is a benign tumor of the smooth muscle that originates in the blood vessels and mainly occurs on the limbs in middle-aged to elderly women. It rarely occurs in the oral cavity. We report a case of vascular leiomyoma arising in the palate. A 36-year-old man visited our department because of a hemispherical tumor in the palate. The clinical diagnosis was a salivary gland tumor, and excision of the tumor was performed. Histopathologically, the tumor was diagnosed as vascular leiomyoma. The patient's postoperative course has been good, with no evidence of recurrence as of 1 year after the operation.
