Abstract
|
|
|
|
Vascular leiomyoma is an uncommon benign tumor that originates from the smooth muscle in the blood vessel walls. Vascular leiomyoma can occur in the head and neck region, but very rarely involves the hard palate. Vascular leiomyoma usually presents as small painless mass, and the diagnosis is usually confirmed after histopathologic study with immunohistochemical stain. The treatment of choice is complete surgical excision. Recently, we experienced a case of vascular leiomyoma on the hard palate and we report this case with review of literature.
