Abstract
Myxofibrosarcoma occurs frequently in the extremities of older individuals and is rarely reported in the head and neck sites. The present case is a rare clinical presentation with respect to site, size and origin of the tumour. Occurring at an intraoral site, the tumour was 8 cm × 7 cm × 5.5 cm in dimensions. Myxofibrosarcoma is known to originate from subcutaneous tissues in the majority of the cases. The origin of the tumour was ambiguous in the current case, as it appeared entirely intraorally.The tumour was resected with adequate margin and following which post-operative adjuvant radiotherapy was given.
