Hypothesis-generating for radiotherapy in rare oral sarcoma bleeding; prospective data needed before clinical adoption.
Undifferentiated high-grade pleomorphic sarcoma is a tumor of mesenchymal cells without clear cell differentiation and represents a diagnosis of exclusion. It is located mainly in extremities, so its location in the head and neck is extremely rare. We report the case of an undifferentiated high-grade pleomorphic sarcoma located on the hard palate.
