title: Gingival localization of fibrosarcoma of soft oral tissues: case report.
abstract: A gingival localization of fibrosarcoma of soft oral tissues was described in a 58-year-old female. Primary fibrosarcoma of the head and neck region is rare. The histological appearance of the tumour is related to its grade of differentiation. The amount of collagen is variable. The accepted treatment is radical surgery; but metastases occur frequently in the lungs.
