Retropharyngeal liposarcoma

J Belge Radiol. 1993 Jun;76(3):176-7.

Abstract

We report a case of a large inhomogeneous tumor confined to the retropharyngeal space, visualised by CT and MRI, which proved to be a liposarcoma. Liposarcoma in the head and neck region is a very rare condition and a retropharyngeal location has only been described once previously.
