A digital manual for the early diagnosis of oral neoplasia

Rare malignant tumours  Search in Medline for Rare malignant tumours



Tumours such as fibrosarcoma, malignant haemangiopericytoma, liposarcoma, chondrosarcoma, ameloblastic carcinoma, lymphoma and plasmacytoma are extremely rare, and diagnosis is always based on histopathology. Soft tissue sarcomas are managed by surgery with or without radiotherapy, while lymphoreticular malignancies are managed by chemotherapy with or without radiotherapy.
