Popis: Angioleiomyoma is a benign tumor formed by the nodular growth of smooth muscle cells surrounding small arteries and small veins. It usually occurs in the intracutaneous or subcutaneous regions of the arms and legs and is rarely found in the oral area. We encountered a case of angioleiomyoma occurring in the palate. We describe this rare case and discuss other cases reported in the literature.
