Angiomyoma is a benign tumor derived from smooth muscle.It is uncommon in the oral cavity, probably because of the general abscence of smooth muscle there except in blood vessel walls and in the circumvallate papillae of the tongue.
Recently, a 52-year-old Japanese man visited the 1st Oral Surgery Department of KyushuUniversity Dental Hospital, complaining of a small round painless mass in the upper lip. Oninspection and palpation, a round elastic soft mass, 6mm in diameter, was revealed.
Under local anesthesia, the mass was excised.A histopathological diagnosis of a angiomyoma was made.
