title: [Glottic liposarcoma: a first case in the national literature].
abstract: Liposarcoma is a tumour of mesenchymal origin. Only between 3-8 percent of the total amount of cases are localized in the head and neck. Laryngeal sitting is an extremely rare occurrence. The AA. inform about the case princeps published in the national literature. It deals with an 83-years-old woman presenting a polypoid tumor on the left vocal cord. The diagnosis could be confirmed through immunochemistry which verified the positivity of the proliferative cellularity for vimentine and protein S-100, immunophenotype consistent with liposarcoma. 36 months later the patient, alive, remains tumor-free.
