Liposarcoma of the buccal mucosa.
An extremely rare tumor of the oral cavity, liposarcoma, is reported. The tumor was located in the submucosal layers of the cheek and protruded into the mouth. To the best of our knowledge this is the fourth reported instance of liposarcoma of the cheek in the world literature. Combined surgical excision and radiotherapy proved a success as judged by a 3-year follow-up.
