Abstract
Liposarcoma is one of the most common malignant mesenchymal neoplasms, comprising approximately 15% of all soft-tissue sarcomas.
First described by “Virchow” in 1857, it has been extensively reported in the literature, although its incidence remains exceedingly rare in the
head and neck region with an annual incidence estimated to be 2.5/1 million inhabitants in population-based studies. It is one of the most
common malignant mesenchymal neoplasms, comprising approximately 15% of all soft-tissue sarcomas. It is a heterogeneous disease with
distinct sub-entities presenting with differential clinical behavior. The purpose of this article is to report an additional case of liposarcoma of
the buccal vestibule and to review the literature.
