Abstract:
A case of primary epithelioid sarcoma of the hard palate is described with no evidence of metastases. Review of the literature revealed no other reported cases of epithelioid sarcoma at this site. The patient, a 20-year-old male negro, returned with 2 local recurrences after initial excision but with no evidence of metastases. He remains well with no evidence of disease at present. This report records a unique primary site for this tumour, and illustrates the diagnostic difficulties, both clinical and histological, which this tumour may present.
