Abstract

The incidence of soft tissue tumors of the head and neck region is low: 300 and 3 in 100,000 for benign and malignant tumors, respectively. However, sarcomas particularly show a wide variety of different histological subtypes. This article provides an overview of the soft tissue tumors of the head and neck region treated in the authors' institution. This is a retrospective study including 106 patients treated between 2002 and 2010 due to a soft tissue tumor. Tumor- and patient-specific data were collected (benign/malignant tumor, location, TNM classification, therapy, R classification, grade). In total, 77 benign tumors, 5 of intermediate benign/malignant nature and 24 sarcomas (with 7 different subtypes) were identified. Whereas the benign and intermediate tumors were treated by surgical removal, in 21 of the 24 sarcomas, treatment comprised a multimodal therapy regimen including radio- and/or chemotherapy. Whereas benign tumors can be successfully treated by surgical resection, there is no uniform therapy regimen for sarcomas due to the variety of different histological subtypes. Only case-specific interdisciplinary disease management can offer good perspectives for therapeutic success.
