[Palatal angioleiomyoma. A clinical case].
A case of angioleiomyoma localized at the level of the soft palate is reported. The 31-year-old patient presented a non-pathognomonic clinical picture and the anamnestic finding of the relatively slow growth of the neoformation raised problems of differential diagnosis in relation to benign growth and lesion of a non-neoplastic nature. The differential diagnosis was only obtained with histological examination of biopsy material.
