We report a case of leiomyoma developing in the hard palate of a 48-year-old woman who had a swellingin the left side of the palate. The lesion measured 9×10mm and had a clearly demarcated border and elastichardness. The clinical diagnosis was a benign tumor, and excisional biopsy was performed under local anesthesia.The histopathological diagnosis was leiomyoma. There has been no evidence of recurrence.
