Current update on the diagnosis and management of head and neck soft tissue sarcomas

Ben Tudor-Green et al. J Oral Pathol Med. 2017 Oct.

Abstract

Head and neck soft tissue sarcomas are a group of rare heterogeneous tumours arising from embryonic mesoderm. They comprise <1% of all head and neck malignancies and 5-15% of all sarcomas with most head and neck sarcomas arising from soft tissues. Although rare, they are associated with both high recurrence and mortality rates. We review the current management of head and neck soft tissue sarcomas.

Keywords: head and neck; management; sarcoma; soft tissue; surgery.
