Well-differentiated, pedunculated liposarcoma of the hypopharynx

Discussion Well-differentiated liposarcoma is the most common form of liposarcoma, but is only exceptionally reported in the hypopharynx. The main symptoms are related to compression of adjacent structures. Imaging findings are nonspecific. Only histological examination can distinguish liposarcoma from other benign oesophageal tumours. Standard treatment consists of wide, complete resection, which is not always possible in the neck. Long-term follow-up of these patients is essential in order to rapidly detect recurrence.
