N2 - Sarcomas of the head and neck are rare tumors derived from cells of mesenchymal origin. This article briefly discusses the epidemiology, etiology, and classification of head and neck sarcomas. Emphasis is placed on myofibrosarcoma, a malignant tumor of the myofibroblasts. Histologic criteria, prognostic factors, and the multidisciplinary management of these tumors are reviewed. A situation of a surgically excised myofibrosarcoma of the buccal mucosa is reported. In this patient, a stent was fabricated to stabilize a split-thickness skin graft used for the buccal mucosa reconstruction.
