PRIMARY INTRAOSSEOUS LEIOMYOSARCOMA OF THE MANDIBLE: CASE REPORT AND LITERATURE REVIEW

Primary leiomyosarcoma (LMS) is a rare type of malignant spindle cell tumor which arises from smooth muscle fibers. It is very uncommon in the oral cavity and only accounts for 4% of all soft tissue sarcomas in head and neck area, with intraosseous presentation even more rare. In this report, we present a new case of primary intraosseous LMS of the mandible and review the literature for previously reported cases. A 19-year-old female presented with an asymptomatic well defined radiolucent lesion of the right body of the mandible.
