Description

Head and neck soft tissue sarcoma is a very rare disease in adults. We retrospectively analyzed 8 cases with head and neck soft tissue sarcomas treated at Shikoku Cancer Center from 1993 to 2006. They were pathologically classified as follows: 3 cases with rhabdomyosarcoma, 2 cases with liposarcoma, and one each of angiosarcoma, myofibroblasticsarcoma, and fibrosarcoma. All 3 cases of rhabdomyosarcoma were performed chemotherapy (VAC) and radiotherapy as the first treatment; the other 5 cases were performed wide excision as the first treatment. The disease-specific 5-year survival rate was 30.0%. After surgical treatment, it is worth considering radiotherapy for cases with a positive resection margin.
