Metastatic myxoid liposarcoma to the tongue: a unique intraoral metastasis

Abstract: The first case of a myxoid liposarcoma metastatic to the tongue of a 78-year-old male patient with primary scrotal liposarcoma for the past seven years is reported. The patient presented with a firm exophytic mass of the left dorsal surface of the tongue, sized 4 to 4.5 cm, with oedema and bleeding. Myxoid liposarcoma is a malignancy with relatively good prognosis and low metastatic rate but high local recurrence. This is the second case report recorded of a metastatic liposarcoma to the oral cavity. Clinical … Show more

“…Myxosarcoma was classified into several subtypes, including myxoid liposarcoma, myxoid chondrosarcoma, and myxoid leiomyosarcoma [18]. Metastasis presentation of myxoid liposarcomas, myxoid chondrosarcomas, and myxoid leiomyosarcomas was higher with locoregional metastasis in all three abovementioned cancers compared with distant metastasis indicating the rare distant metastasis in these cancers, interpreting that locoregional metastasis may provide a prolonged overall survival rate than distant metastasis [40][41][42][43]. The SEER database is an authorized software providing statistical information on cancers among several registries in the U.S. [34].…”
