Abstract

We report a case of alveolar soft-part sarcoma（ ASPS） arising in the mid-dorsum of the tongue in a 30-year-old woman. She had been aware of a slow-growing, painless mass of this region for 10 years and was referred to our department because of an episode of oral bleeding. Physical examination revealed an elastic hard mass arising in the mid-dorsum of the tongue, measuring 30 × 27 mm in diameter. Tumor excision was performed under general anesthesia. The histopathological diagnosis was ASPS because of the presence of alveolar structures composed of large polygonal cells with an acidophilic fine granular cytoplasm and PASpositive diastase-resistant crystals. There has been no recurrence or metastasis for 18 months.
