An Unusual Presentation of Fibrosarcoma of Mandible: A Case Report

Abstract

Soft tissue sarcomas are rare in the head and neck region and account for less than 1% of the malignant tumors. At one time, fibrosarcoma was the most common soft tissue sarcoma. With the advent of electron microscopy and immunohistochemistry, it became evident that many previously diagnosed fibrosarcomas were other spindle cell tumor leading to a reduction in the occurrence percentage of fibrosarcoma. Here we report a rare case of fibrosarcoma presenting as a innocuous growth in the gingiva.
