| Popis: | The study comprised 22 cases of oral sarcomas; clinical, histopathologic, and immunohistochemical features were evaluated. The studied series accounted for 0.1% of all oral-maxillofacial pathology, and 7% of all soft tissue tumors in the oral cavity; 59% (13 cases) were Kaposi sarcomas, mean age was 40 years (range 24-55 y), 85% occurred in male patients, and 54% cases involved the palate. The most prevalent microscopic variant was the solid type (60%), and all cases tested positive for human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8). The remaining sarcomas were: leiomyosarcoma-3, fibrosarcoma-2, solid alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma-1, pleomorphic undifferentiated sarcoma-1, synovial sarcoma-1, and inflammatory myofibroblastic sarcoma-1. We herein present a series of 22 cases of oral sarcomas diagnosed at a single diagnostic center, thus contributing regional data to the few series reported in the literature. A distinctive feature of the present series is the high prevalence of Kaposi sarcoma, which in all cases was associated with HHV-8. |
