Article Synopsis
- Sarcomas are cancers originating from mesenchymal tissues, and they are divided into soft tissue sarcomas and bone sarcomas, with soft tissue types in the head and neck being particularly rare.
- Soft tissue sarcomas of the head and neck represent less than 1% of such cancers in that region and under 10% of all soft tissue sarcomas, with a notable type being embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma, which responds well to treatment.
- Unlike benign tumors, which are typically encapsulated and don’t invade nearby structures, malignant tumors like certain soft tissue sarcomas can grow rapidly, invade tissues, and may spread to distant sites, which underscores the importance of proper diagnosis and treatment
