Abstract
Soft tissue sarcomas are rare, histologically heterogeneous malignant tumors. Head and neck localization accounts for 10% of cases, with a poor prognosis in the presence of infiltration of the skull bones or endocranial extension. Management remains essentially surgical plus or minus radiotherapy. We report the case of a young patient admitted for management of a large-volume atypical scalp sarcoma with infiltration of the occipital bone, necessitating surgical resection with cranioplasty. Keywords: Sarcoma; Scalp; Cranioplasty.
