Liposarcoma is the second most common sarcoma of the adult life, next to malignant fibrous histiocytoma. Liposarcoma in larynx and hypopharynx is extremely rare. The symptoms are variable, but it has a clinical importance because they can cause unpredictable airway obstruction, particularly during the induction of general anesthesia. A 79-year-old male patient was referred to our department for mild airway obstruction and throat discomfort. Neck CT scan showed a mass within both postcricoid area and pyriform sinus. The mass was removed via laryngeal microsurgery. In this article, we report a case of liposarcoma of the posterior wall of hypopharynx with a review of the related literature.
