title: Recurrent myxoid liposarcoma of the buccal mucosa in a young boy: a case report and review of the literature.
abstract: Liposarcomas are uncommon in the pediatric population. We present the case of a boy who had experienced multiple recurrences of liposarcoma in the buccal space before he reached the age of 13 years. We also provide a review of the literature and a discussion of adjuvant therapy, which are important to understanding the nature of this disease.
