Abstract

Liposarcoma is a malignant tumor originated from adipose tissue, accounting for 20% of all soft tissue sarco-mas. A 69-year-old man with anterior and posterior neck mass visited to our department and we performed an excisional biopsy in level Ι. Histopathological examination revealed liposarcoma, so we performed wide exci-sion in anterior and posterior neck, and adjuvant radiotherapy. We report a unique case of well-differentiated li-posarcoma on anterior and posterior neck with literature review. To our best knowledge, such case has not been reported earlier in Korea previously.
