| Abstract;Liposarcoma is commonly a soft tissue sarcoma. The lower extremities, retroperitoneum and inguinal region are the most common locations of liposarcoma. We report a case of liposarcoma of the hypopharynx. Primary liposarcomas of the hypopharynx are extremely rare, with only 17 cases identified in the world literature. A-57-year old man came to our hospital complaining of a foreign-body sensation on swallowing. On fiberscopic examination, we found a mass in the left side of the hypopharynx. The tumor was resected along its capsule using a diode laser via direct laryngoscopy. Histopathological examination showed a lipoma. However, one month after the surgery, the tumor recurred. The recurrent tumor was resected using a diode laser, and the resected tumor was histopathologically diagnosed as a well-differentiated liposarcoma. The patient subsequently underwent pharyngolaryngotomy and bilateral neck dissection. The postoperative course was uneventful. No recurrence was seen 32 months after the operation. (author abst.) |
