Vascular leiomyoma is a benign tumor of smooth muscle that mainly occurs in the hands and legs. However, it rarely occurs in the oral cavity.<BR>A case of vascular leiomyoma of the buccal mucosa is reported. A 73-year-old woman visited our department because of a swelling in the buccal mucosa. CT examination revealed a smooth tumorous lesion in the left buccal mucosa. The clinical diagnosis was a benign tumor, and enucleation of the tumor was performed. The histopathological diagnosis was vascular leiomyoma.
