%X Superficial angiomyxomas are myxoid mesenchymal tumors, and intraoral superficial angiomyxoma is extremely rare. This paper reports a novel case of a 41-year-old Japanese male patient with a 32 × 22 mm superficial angiomyxoma in the right soft palate. Tumor resection was performed and a polyglycolic acid sheet was attached. Over a 28-month follow-up, there was no evidence of disease recurrence. This paper also reviewed 11 cases of intraoral superficial angiomyxomas reported in previous literature. The condition was more common among middle-aged men. Surgical resection was the most common treatment, and local recurrence was observed in only one case.
