title: [Liposarcoma of the oral cavity: description of a case and review of the literature].
abstract: A case of well differentiated lipoma like and sclerosing liposarcoma in a 66 years old women is reported. The review of literature showed the rare occurrence of this neoplasia in the head and neck region especially in the floor of the mouth. C-T Scans and MRI can be helpful in addressing to the diagnosis of a fot tissue neoplasia, but only microscopic examination of a wide incisional biopsy makes the differential diagnosis from a liposarcoma possible. The elective treatment fundamental to present any relapses, as stressed in literature, is the complete removal of the lesion.
