Head and neck soft tissue fibrosarcoma in nine year old child: A case report

Abstract

Fibrosarcoma is a mesenchymal cell origin tumor composed of malignant fibroblast. This condition affects primarily to long bones, and rarely occurs in cranium about, with the maxilla being the most rarest cranial site. This paper describes a rare case of 9 year old baby girl who presented with swelling on the left side of face diagnosed as soft tissue fibrosarcoma of the intraoral region. The histopathologicaly confirmed the diagnosis by the presence of spindle-shaped cells arranged in fascicles with mitotic figures and cellular proliferation reproducing fibroblasts.
