About 80% of head and neck sarcomas originate in soft tissue while the remaining 20% arise from bone (Cormier and Pollock in J Clin 54:94\u2212109, 2004). One among the commonly presenting variants of sarcomas in head and neck that our patient was diagnosed with is Low grade myofibroblastic sarcoma (LGMS). These even though uncommon have a predilection for head and neck region particularly the tongue (Mentzel et al. in Am J Surg Pathol 22:1228\u221238, 1998; Cai et al. in Virchows Arch 463:827\u221236, 2013; Meng et al. in Chin Med J 120:363\u20139, 2007; Demarosi et al. in Oral Surg Oral Med Oral Pathol Oral Radiol Endod. 108:248\u201354, 2009). LGMS was reclassified as a distinct entity by the WHO classification of soft tissue tumors in 2002 (Qiu et al. in Oncol Lett 9:619\u221225, 2015). Oncological resection is the mainstay of treatment. In case of bulky tumor, resection and reconstruction would be challenging. We report a recurrent LGMS of 15-year-old girl who presented with a ginormous soft tissue swelling in her left neck region which made her day-to-day activities strenuous and made her non ambulatory and the line of treatment executed in order to get her back on feet, healthy &amp; free of the debilitating tumor.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1007\/s12070-023-03752-y","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,6]],"date-time":"2023-05-06T09:02:17Z","timestamp":1683363737000},"page":"2608-2612","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Recurrent Giant Myofibroblastic Sarcoma of Neck in a Teenager: Overcoming Treatment Challenges"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"75","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4630-3504","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Diksha","family":"Dinker","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Keshava","family":"Rajan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Naveena A.
