  • Title: Intraosseous leiomyoma of the mandible.
    Author: Loyola AM, Araújo NS, Zanetta-Barbosa D, Mendes VC, Jordão-Silva C, Bittar TO.
    Journal: Oral Surg Oral Med Oral Pathol Oral Radiol Endod; 1999 Jan; 87(1):78-82. PubMed ID: 9927085.
    Abstract:
    An intraosseous leiomyoma arising within the mandible was diagnosed in a 24-year-old woman. Clinically, a nodular swelling of the lower border of the mandible was noted. Radiographically, a unilocular ellipsoid radiolucency, loss of the lower border of the mandible, and tooth resorption were observed. The mitotic count was 0.4 per 10 high-power fields, which supported the benign nature of the tumor. The clinical and histologic parameters for distinguishing between benign and malignant smooth muscle neoplasms are discussed.
