ANGIOMIOM – ANGIOLEIOMIOM OBRAZA ----- Autori prikazuju slučaj angiomioma – angioleiomioma obraza u 58 godišnjeg muškarca. Tvorba je bila palpabilna, ali klinički nevidljiva i jedini je slučaj tumora glatke muskulature liječenog u Kliničkome zavodu za oralnu kirurgiju u zadnjih četrdeset godina. Zahvat je izveden ambulantno intraoralnim pristupom, a poslijeoperacijski tijek protekao je bez komplikacija. Uvodno se navodi suvremena literatura o leiomiomima, a zatim se prikazuje slučaj i histološke karakteristike tumora. Primjer se prikazuje kao raritet i jedna od diferencijalno dijagnostičkih mogućnosti u dijagnostici tumora mekih tkiva usne šupljine.
