A Rare Case of Soft Tissue Sarcoma of Gingiva
Soft tissue sarcoma in children is very rare and very few cases have been reported with primary involvement of oral soft tissues. Only 1 to 3% of primary malignant fibrous histiocytoma occur in head and neck region and they have a poor prognosis. This case report describes an unusual presentation of primary malignant fibrous histiocytoma with an aggressive course originating from the gingiva and covering hard and soft palate with extension in maxillary sinus in a 12 year old girl. Hemi-maxillectomy was performed and chemotherapy and radiotherapy administered.
