Key result
Expanded resection surgery is recommended as the first intervention for primary leiomyosarcoma of the tongue in children, with postoperative adjuvant therapy if specifically required.
Why the study?
Primary leiomyosarcoma of the tongue is a rare malignant mesenchymal tumor with a high recurrence rate and metastatic potential.
Case Report (n=1)
Expanded resection surgery is the recommended primary treatment for rare primary leiomyosarcoma of the tongue in children.
May support expanded resection first in rare pediatric tongue leiomyosarcoma; leaves open adjuvant strategies pending larger series.
Primary leiomyosarcoma of the tongue is a rare malignant mesenchymal tumor with high recurrence rate and metastatic potential. Through analysis of one case condition and literature review, this paper discusses the clinical characteristics and treatment methods and recommends that expanded resection surgery should be the first intervention. Postoperative adjuvant radiotherapy and combined chemotherapy should be administered if the case specifically requires such an approach.
