The elastic hard and fixed tumor was removed by the approach of transpalatine. Radiotherapy was performed after operation. But the patient expired of recurrence about three years after initial diagnosis.The histological examination revealed alveolar soft part sarcoma. It is an infrequently encountered neoplasm which is considered rare in the head and neck, though 34 cases of the similar tumors have been reported in Japan.
