Resumen
LOPEZ CERES, A.; RUIZ DELGADO, F. y BERMUDO ANINO, L.. Mandibular intraosseous leiomyosarcoma. Rev Esp Cirug Oral y Maxilofac [online]. 2007, vol.29, n.5, pp.331-335. ISSN 2173-9161.
Leiomyosarcomas are malignant mesenchymal neoplasms of smooth muscle differentiation. Leiomyosarcomas occurring in the jawbones are exceedingly rare, and are believed to arise from the musculature of the tunica of blood vessels. Intraoral cases may present at any age with no predilection for any age group. They occur predominantly in males, with a male to female ratio of approximately 2:1. Complete surgical excision is associated with low recurrence and longer survival. Radiotherapy is effective in the treatment of microscopic disease.
