Abstract

We report a rare case of an adult rhabdomyoma of the floor of the mouth in a 52-year-old woman. To date only 25 cases of such tumors have been described in the oral cavity. In spite of its large size (approximately 10 x 8 x 6 cm), the tumor could be completely removed. Up to now, 20 months after the removal of tumor, no recurrences, have occurred.
