Post-irradiation leiomyosarcoma of the maxilla

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  29 June 2007

Abstract

Primary malignant smooth muscle tumours of the maxilla are extremely rare. A case of leiomyosarcoma of the maxilla associated with previous irradiation is presented. The aetiology, pathology and clinical aspects of this tumour are reviewed.
