title: [Bucco-sinusal site of primary leiomyosarcoma].
abstract: The leiomyosarcoma, a malignant smooth muscle tumor, is common in uterus and gastro intestinal track. Only 27 cases of oral cavity localisation have been report in literature since 1908. We report a case of primary leiomyosarcoma of palate in 26 years old woman. The diagnosis is made by histopathological examination after biopsy. The extension is revealed by clinical symptoms and scan examination. The treatment is based on wide surgery Chemotherapy and radiotherapy could be proposed. The prognosis of the lesion depends of metastatic development, few cases have been present with metastases developed after one year, two years and five years. Generally their localisation are liver, lungs or lymph nodes. In our case after two years post operative a second lesion is revealed and the patient died quickly.
