Abstract
Liposarcomas of the head and neck region are rare. Those originating in the buccal mucosa cause special diagnostic and therapeutic difficulties. In this report, a predominantly well-differentiated liposarcoma of the cheek in a 32-yr-old man is reported. The tumor continued to grow slowly over a period of 3 yr before definitive diagnosis was established. Radical maxillectomy was performed with total excision of the tumor. Recommendations for earlier and correct diagnosis and treatment of this rare neoplasm are discussed.Keywords
