Description
Summary:Oral liposarcomas are uncommon diseases, the most predominant histopathological subtype being atypical lipomatous tumour/well‐differentiated liposarcoma. In regard to its clinical aspects in the oral cavity, it is challenging to confirm a diagnosis and develop a treatment plan. In this case report, we present a rare case of atypical lipomatous tumour/well‐differentiated liposarcoma in the right cheek of a 77‐year‐old male patient. Conservative surgery was performed considering the histopathological subtype of the neoplasm. Knowledge of the clinical and histopathological characteristics of this rare disease is essential to maintaining function and aesthetics through conservative treatment in older patients.
