[Current opinion in treatment of soft tissue sarcoma].

The present work discusses soft tissue sarcoma in the head and neck area, due to the rare occurrence and the sparse data situation is still a large number of unexplained riddles. The head and neck surgeon plays the central role in the diagnosis and treatment of the vast majority of soft tissue sarcoma in the head and neck area. It is crucial that these tumors immediately should be send to specialized centers. An larger excisional biopsy should be avoided. When histology and tumor extension are secured an interdisciplinary treatment concept should be discussed, or the patient if possible will be introduced in ongoing clinical studies.
