“…Only 11 cases of intraoral SAs have been reported since 1988 (Table 1) [4,9,10] The subsites of the 12 cases-including this case-that occurred in the oral cavity and oropharynx, were the buccal mucosa (three cases), floor of the mouth (two cases), hard palate (two cases), and upper gingiva, lower gingiva, tongue, lower lip, and soft palate (one case each). This is the first report of SA located in the soft palate without Carney's complex.…”

Superficial angiomyxomas are myxoid mesenchymal tumors, and intraoral superficial angiomyxoma is extremely rare. This paper reports a novel case of a 41-year-old Japanese male patient with a 32 × 22 mm superficial angiomyxoma in the right soft palate. Tumor resection was performed and a polyglycolic acid sheet was attached. Over a 28-month follow-up, there was no evidence of disease recurrence. This paper also reviewed 11 cases of intraoral superficial angiomyxomas reported in previous literature. The condition was more common among middle-aged men. Surgical resection was the most common treatment, and local recurrence was observed in only one case.
