Oral leiomyosarcoma: the importance of early diagnosis

Objective Present a case clinic of leimyosarcoma. Background Leiomyosarcomas (LMSs) are malignant mesenchymal tumours of smooth muscle differentiation that grow rapidly and whose prognosis is dependent upon the tumour site and disease stage. Their location in the oral cavity is considered extremely rare due to the lack of smooth muscle tissue in that area. Materials and methods We present an LMSs case of the buccal mucosa in an elderly patient patient with a follow‐up of 4 years. Conclusion Early diagnosis and treatment play a key role in a better prognosis.
