A case report of myxoid liposarcoma of buccal mucosa
Liposarcoma is one of the commonest malignancies of adipose tissue. It occurs rarely in oral cavity. Due to
its rarity, it possesses a diagnostic challenge to both the clinician and pathologist. But awareness about this
entity can help in diagnosing this lesion and thereby decreasing the mortality and morbidity of the patients.
We present a case report of myxoid liposarcoma in a 55 years old male, treated with surgery followed by
radiotherapy. The patient is followed up for 3 years and is free of disease.
