title: Liposarcoma of the tongue.
abstract: Liposarcoma is a rare tumor in the head and neck. No previous report of its occurrence in the tongue is found at the time of this writing and this prompts its presentation. Significant in its management is wide surgical excision. Irradiation may be effective in some metastases. Prognosis is best in well differentiated forms.
