title: Superficial angiomyxoma of the floor of the mouth--a case report.
abstract: A report of a case of intra-oral superficial angiomyxoma of a middle aged Caucasian female. Angiomyxomas are distinctive soft tissue tumours associated with a high risk of local recurrence but lack metastatic potential. Only one intra-oral case [Chen YK, Lin LM, Lin CC, Yan YH. Myxoid tumor of the oral cavity with features of superficial angiomyxoma: report of a case. J Oral Maxillofac Surg 1998;56:379-82] appears to have been reported in the English language.
