Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Leiomyosarcomas are extremely rare in the oral region. A case of a malignant tumour of the smooth muscle of the mandible possibly originating from a pre-existent benign counterpart is reported and the literature briefly reviewed. The case presented suggested the possibility that leiomyosarcomas, whenever they originate as a result of malignant transformation in a leiomyoma, may grow to an enormous size and grow slowly. |
