Abstract
Angiomyoma, also known as vascular leiomyoma, is a rare benign tumor composed of smooth muscle cells. While it is more commonly found in the extremities, its occurrence in the oral cavity, particularly on the tongue, is extremely uncommon. This study aims to highlight a rare case of angiomyoma on the tongue, detailing its clinical presentation, histopathological features, and management, which was excised by TORS. A comprehensive clinical examination was followed by imaging and subsequent robotic excision of the lesion utilizing the da Vinci Robotic system. The patient presented with a slow-growing, painless, well-circumscribed nodule on the base of the tongue. Histological examination revealed intersecting bundles of smooth muscle cells surrounding thick-walled blood vessels. Although rare, angiomyoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of tongue masses. Surgical excision remains the treatment of choice, with a low risk of recurrence. Awareness of such rare entities can aid in timely diagnosis and appropriate management.
