Myxoid liposarcoma of the scalp: case report and literature review.
Myxoid liposarcoma of the head and neck is an extremely rare entity. The scalp region represents a risk factor to the patient because the diagnosis is usually made late, and the surgeon must have a high index of suspicion for this entity because suctioning the tumor without taking a biopsy further delays an accurate diagnosis.
