[Liposarcoma in the submandibular region. Clinical case].
The authors report a case of liposarcoma in the sub-mandibular region, and they describe the histological species and the way of spreading. They suggest a surgical, non-demolitional therapy, that they carried radical if it is related to a strict follow-up. Anatomical and functional results, after demolishing surgical therapy, are sometimes unacceptable if the real benefits in terms of survival are considered. No supporting therapy has been used because of the presumed insensibility of the neoplasm to the chemo-radiotherapeutic treatments. At 2 years from surgical treatment no local relapses, on distance metastasis have been related.
