The well-differentiated liposarcoma of the hypopharynx

Abstract

The incidence of well-differentiated liposarcoma of the head and neck is extremely low. The imaging is not specific. Wide surgical resection is sufficient. Histopathological review confirms the diagnosis.

Liposarcoma of the retropharyngeal space with rapidly worsening dyspnea: A case report and review of the literature

“…Our previous study also showed that adjuvant radiotherapy is important in the management of sarcomas of the parapharyngeal space (12). However, for well-differentiated liposarcomas of the head and neck, certain authors have suggested that wide surgical resection is sufficient (13). The majority of studies have been confined by the small series of patients used to assess the value of adjuvant radiotherapy in the treatment of head and neck liposarcomas (14,15).…”

Post radiation myofibrosarcoma of hypopharynx

“…There are some reports of hypopharyngeal sarcomas such as angiosarcoma, liposarcoma and synovial sarcoma [1]. Ionizing radiation is an important modality of treatment for head and neck cancer.…”

Intrinsic Laryngeal Lipoma Treated with Transoral CO₂ Laser Microsurgery: An Unusual Case Report

“…There are 4 main histological types of liposarcomas: well-differentiated, myxoid or round cell, pleomorphic, and differentiated liposarcomas. Well-differentiated liposarcoma can be divided into 3 subtypes and among these is the more common lipoma-like liposarcoma mimics the lipoma both macroscopically and microscopically [ 23 ].…”
