Abstract
Liposarcoma is the most common family of soft tissue sarcomas and occurs most often in the extremities and retroperitoneum. Primary liposarcoma of any subtype is relatively rare in the tissues of the head and neck, and metastatic liposarcoma is even more unusual. This report describes a recent case of a metastatic high-grade liposarcoma presenting on the dental alveolus. English-language publications on metastatic liposarcoma to the head and neck region are reviewed with an emphasis on the types of therapies used and the resultant outcomes.
