title: [Histological classification of sarcomas].
abstract: Sarcomas are rare and malignant tumors of mesenchymatous origin. Numerous histological sub-types have been described. 10 to 15% of all sarcomas are located to head and neck. The more frequent histological types in this localization are fibrosarcoma, malignant fibrous histiocytoma and rhabdomyosarcoma. In this paper a general review of histological classification of sarcomas is proposed with a particular emphasis on head and neck sarcomas.
