Lingual alveolar soft part sarcoma in a pediatric patient: Case report and literature review

Abstract Alveolar soft part sarcoma(ASPS) is a rare soft tissue sarcomathat presents most commonly in the extremities of adolescents and young adults. Involvement of the head and neck is more common in younger patients. A 2-year-old found to have localized lingual ASPS and was treated successfully with partial glossectomy. We describe this rare form of sarcoma, discuss management options, review updated literature and present our patient's outcome after 5 years of close follow-up.
