Abstract
Myxofibrosarcoma (MFS) is a rare subtype of soft tissue sarcoma that usually occurs in the extremities of the body. Its location in the head and neck region is unique. Surgery is the primary treatment for all non-metastatic MFS. It has high rates of local recurrence and metastasis. Like other soft tissue sarcomas, the aim of adjuvant treatment is to decrease the chances of local recurrence or metastasis in MFS. Due to its rarity, there is a lack of data showing the benefit of adjuvant treatment in MFS of the head and neck region. We are presenting a case report and literature review on MFS in the head and neck.
