Atypical lipomatous tumor/well-differentiated liposarcoma of the gingiva: a case report and review of literature.
[well-differentiated liposarcoma]
Liposarcoma
,
first
described
by
Virchow
in
1857
,
is
a
common
mesenchymal
malignant
tumor
arising
from
the
adipose
tissue
.
The
most
common
of
all
soft
tissue
sarcomas
,
liposarcomas
account
for
approximately
20
%
of
all
soft
tissue
sarcomas
.
However
,
it
is
rare
in
the
head
and
neck
,
particularly
in
the
oral
cavity
.
Oral
liposarcomas
have
been
reported
to
occur
mainly
on
the
buccal
mucosa
,
with
other
sites
including
the
floor
of
the
mouth
,
tongue
,
palate
,
and
mandible
.
However
,
almost
no
cases
of
a
liposarcoma
located
on
the
gingiva
have
been
reported
.
To
our
knowledge
,
only
5
cases
of
liposarcoma
of
the
gingiva
have
been
previously
reported
in
English
language
studies
.
We
present
a
rare
case
of
an
atypical
lipomatous
tumor
/
well-differentiated
liposarcoma
of
the
gingiva
of
the
anterior
mandible
that
occurred
in
a
77
-
year
-old
male
patient
.
Our
patient
underwent
surgical
excision
and
alveolar
decortication
.
We
also
present
a
review
of
the
current
published
data
.
At
18
months
of
follow-up
,
the
patient
remained
free
of
disease
.
