- Abstract
- Leiomyosarcoma is extremely rare in the oral cavity and especially in the mandible. At first. the case of this report was diagnosed as odontogenic fibroma but after approximately 3.5 years. it was diagnosed as leiomyosarcoma. Conventional radiograph of the first time showed an ill-defined radiolucent lesion in the mandible. After local recurrence. CT images showed a large irregular soft tissue mass with some necrotic areas. These findings were not specific for leiomyosarcoma, but they suggested that this lesion was a recurrent soft tissue sarcoma. Histopathological examinations using H & E staining, immunohistochemical staining and Masson's trichrome staining confirmed this case as leiomyosarcoma. Deciding its malignancy or benignancy, defining the tumor extent and its relationship to the surrounding anatomic structures, and evaluating the distant metastasis are more important roles of radiographic examination than finding out the name of disease.
