[Neck liposarcoma. Presentation of one case and revision of the literature]

Neck liposarcoma is an infrequent tumor in the head and neck area. A case in a 70 years male is reported with a presentation the in inferior third of the lateral neck region. Two previous surgical procedures and Radiotherapy (50 Gy) were carried out. A modified radical dissection was performed. No metastatic nodes were found. A revision of the literature is done with special remarks on prognostic factors; histology and surgical treatment with wide margins are favourable factors.
