Abstract
Angioleiomyoma (ALM) is a benign neoplasm marked by the presence of blood vessels and smooth muscle cells, commonly located within the subcutaneous or deep dermal layers. Its manifestation in the pterygopalatine fossa is infrequent, thereby posing difficulties in its diagnosis and distinction from other benign tumors within the same anatomical site. In the present case study, an ALM originating in the right pterygopalatine fossa of a 44-year-old female patient was investigated. The patient underwent surgical intervention for the vascular smooth muscle tumor, and there has been no recurrence noted during the postoperative monitoring period.
