Leiomyomas are benign tumors of smooth muscle and are rare in the oral cavity. This paper reports the case of an oral vascular leiomyoma in a 24-year-old male who presented an oral lesion, which "had been growing and bleeding" for four years. On intra-oral clinical examination a 4-cm tumor was observed, located in the right maxilla, asymptomatic, bleeding, with a normal coloration and fibrous consistency. Radiography revealed a radiolucent area with points of bone reabsorption at the site of the lesion. an incisional biopsy, as well as histopathology and imunohistochemistry studies, was carried out, leading to a diagnosis of vascular leiomyoma of the oral cavity. The patient was referred for total removal of the lesion and has been followed for 4 years with no recurrence
