How Can Adenoid Sarcoma Be Detected Through Scan?

A close friend of mine took her son(24yrs) in today to have what the doctors thought might be a cyst removed from right behind the jaw (bt the jaw and bottom of his ear lobe). before they removed it they took a biopsy and it came back as cancer and they diagnosed him with adenoid sarcoma. we were told it is unresponsive to radiation and chemotherapy, but depending upon scans surgery may be possible. i can not find any information on this cancer can you direct me to information about what this is, and potential options? also, they mention the possibility of him having to be sent to MD Anderson in Texas.
