title: [Liposarcoma: a rare differential diagnosis of cervical space occupation].
abstract: With less than 100 cases described in the literature, the incidence of liposarcoma in the head and neck is very low. We report on a 54-year-old patient with a liposarcoma of the right cervical soft tissue. After complete tumor extirpation the patient underwent radiotherapy. Diagnostics, histopathological classification, therapy and prognosis of liposarcoma are discussed in this case report and review of the literature.
