Abstrakt: A case of an unusual, primary alveolar soft part sarcoma of the tongue in a 3-year-old boy is presented. Alveolar soft part sarcoma is a rare malignant tumor that presents more frequently in the head and neck region of infants and children. To date, only six cases of lingual alveolar soft part sarcoma presenting in the first decade of life have been reported in the English literature. The patient has undergone surgical resection without adjuvant chemotherapy or radiation. Thus far, the patient does not manifest persistent or recurrent disease.
