“…It can be assumed that prior to the time of immunohistochemistry, some oral lesions diagnosed as leiomyomas, are, in fact, myofibromas. Numerous studies in the past support the diagnosis of leiomyoma using histochemical stains, such as Masson's trichrome (39), van Gieson (40) and Mallory's phosphotungstic acid hematoxylin (PTAH) stain (41). These stains have been proven to be non‐specific for distinguishing smooth muscle cells and myofibroblasts precise types of cells (41, 42).…”

“…As blood vessels are the greatest source of smooth muscle within the oral cavity, it would be expected that the majority of oral leiomyomas would be of the vascular variety. Fifty-nine of the 84 reported cases (the present case included), were vascular and 20 were solid (Natiella et al, 1982;Praal et al, 1982;Giles and Gosney, 1982;Hemani etal. 1983;Yamamoto, 1983) (Table II).…”

Tumors of smooth muscle origin are rare in the oral cavity. To date, only eighty-three cases of oral leiomyomas have been reported. A first case of tonsillar leiomyoma in a 73-year-old male is presented. The theories of origin and the various histologic types of oral leiomyomas are discussed. Leiomyoma can easily be confused with other spindle-cell tumours. Special stains are necessary to reach a correct diagnosis. It is sometimes difficult to differentiate benign leiomyoma from malignant leiomyosarcoma. The use of mitotic figure count to indicate malignant behaviour is not always reliable. The need for wide surgical excision of the tumour, complete sectioning and examination of the specimen and meticulous follow-up of the patient for evidence of recurrence are emphasized.

“…10 Differential diagnosis includes benign lesions such as fibroma, haemangioma, lymphangioma, teratoma, neurofibroma, granular cell tumour and minor salivary gland tumours. The radiographic study is highly valuable to differentiate the vascular lesion from the others.…”

Congenital angiomyoma of the tongue: case report

Angiomyomas of the oral cavity are rare benign vascular neoplasms. In particular, the congenital form has not been reported before in the English language literature. We present a congenital angiomyoma of the tongue that was found on the posterior middle of the tongue in an infant. On MRI, the mass showed an isointense signal to muscle on the T 1 weighted image and a slightly hyperintense signal on the T 2 weighted image. Immunohistochemically, tumour cells were positive to desmin and smooth muscle actin, but negative to vimentin and S100. The treatment was surgical excision and no recurrence was found during the 26 month follow-up period.
