“…Despite the size of the tumor (>5 cm), there was no clinical mass and no facial deformity, which according to the literature should be a common sign (Table 1). 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 It is also uncommon, only reported by Charrier et al, 10 that the tumor was very painful, and this is the first reported case with paresthesia of the lower lip.…”

Alveolar soft-part sarcomas are clinically and morphologically distinct soft-tissue sarcomas, with an unknown histogenesis. When the tumors affect the region of the head and neck, they are often located in the orbit and tongue. We report a case of an alveolar soft-part sarcoma in the left masseter of a 28-year-old female. The patient had chronic pain and paresthesia of her left lower lip. Panoramic radiography and computed tomography showed a well-delimited radiolucent mass in the left ramus. An incisional biopsy was performed, and the sample submitted for histopathological study. The tumor showed positive periodic acid-Schiff diastase-resistant granules. Immunohistochemically, the tumor cells were diffusely positive for myoglobin, and focally positive for actin and desmin.

“…While in our analysis, we have found out an age range of 1.5-64 years with a mean of 18.25 ± 15.243 years. There were 31 (41.9%) males 9,10,15,16,23,25,[27][28][29][31][32][33][34][35][36] and 43 (58.1%) females 2,3,5,8,[11][12][13][14][16][17][18][19][20][21]24,26,27,[36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46] in the review and male-tofemale ratio of 1:1.4 with female predilection. Gender predilection in our review is in accordance with Wang et al 30 and male-to-female ratio is in contrast with that of Fanburg-Smith et al 16 According to Kim et al, 36 most of the patients were from the second decade with slender female predilection.…”

An alveolar soft-part sarcoma is a malignant neoplasm primarily affecting the soft tissues of head and neck. The aim of the present review is to systematically present the demographic and clinico-pathological data of articles published in the English medical literature. A comprehensive search of the databases (PubMed, Medline, SCOPUS, Web of Science, and Google Scholar) along with cross references to the published articles on alveolar soft-part sarcoma for eligible studies/case reports published since 1957 till date was done to retrieve the data. A total of 74 cases were identified and analyzed from 42 papers published in the English medical literature. All the clinical, radiographic, and prognostic features were analyzed and presented along with the treatment strategies. Alveolar soft-part sarcoma is a rare and aggressive malignancy of uncertain histologic origin with a propensity for vascular invasion and distant metastasis. This neoplasm requires careful clinical, radiographic, and histopathologic evaluation to reach to the correct diagnosis.

“…Overall, there is no evidence of an impact of pregnancy in nasopharyngeal cancers. Four cases of squamous cell laryngeal cancer occurring during pregnancy were reported ( (Table 3) including several sarcoma subtypes (such as liposarcoma, 14 rhabdomyosarcoma, 36 alveolar sarcoma, 37 embryonal sarcoma, 38 synovial sarcoma, 39 dermatofibrosarcoma, 7 and angiosarcoma. 40 All patients received surgery, and adjuvant radiotherapy when indicated.…”

Background The incidence of cancer during pregnancy is low but is slightly increasing. Data on incidence and etiology of head and neck (HN) cancers in pregnant women are rare. We evaluated the frequency, tumor type, associated factors, and specific biomarkers in HN cancers occurring in pregnant (and peripartum) women. Methods A systematic literature search was performed on PubMed, for any HN tumor site occurring in pregnant women. Results Sixty cases of HN cancers occurring during pregnancy were identified. Most of them were oral cavity cancers. Relationships with oncogenic viruses, hormonal disturbance, and shift in maternal immunity profile were identified. Conclusion Carcinogenesis of HN cancers in pregnant women may be led by different cancer type–specific hallmarks. Relevance of these etiological factors with respect to treatments and birth control recommendations is being investigated by the REFCOR in an ambispective study.
