Abstract

Liposarcomas are extremely rare in the oral cavity and mainly observed in the buccal mucosa, tongue, floor of the mouth, gingiva, and lips, while those occurring in the jaws have not been reported so far. Clinically, the initial presentation of liposarcoma is usually a painless soft tissue mass. The aim of this study was to report a case of liposarcoma with osteolysis of the maxilla as the first symptom, and review the relevant literature to summarize its clinical features, imaging features, pathological features and treatment methods.

Keywords: Gorham-Stout disease; Liposarcoma; Maxilla; Oral cavity; Osteolysis.
