Introduction:
The aim of this article is to describe the clinical, radiological, and therapeutic aspects of well-differentiated liposarcomas of the hypopharynx.
Case Presentation:
We report the case of a 34-year-old woman seen for dysphonia and dyspnea. The nasal endoscopy found a well-delimited ovoid tumefaction, attached at the right lateral wall of the hypopharynx. The diagnosis of a well-differentiated liposarcoma was made based on the histopathology of the surgical specimen.
Discussion/Conclusion:
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.
