Abstract

Alveolar soft part sarcoma (ASPS) of the head and neck region has been a rarely reported entity. These lesions have a high propensity for distant metastasis. A retrospective study of the medical records at our institute, revealed thirty-eight cases of ASPS. Six of these were of primary head and neck origin. The article highlights the aggressive nature of the tumour and the need to arrive at a consensus on the treatment protocol.
