Abstract

Bone and soft tissue sarcomas of the head and neck are a heterogenous group of tumors with overlapping features. Distinguishing between the various subtypes is challenging but necessary for appropriate diagnosis and management. The purpose of this article is to discuss the role of imaging in evaluating head and neck tumors, provide a general radiographic approach in differentiating between benign versus malignant lesions and give examples of selected subtypes of bone and soft tissue sarcomas in the head and neck with classic or pathognomonic imaging findings.
