title: Liposarcoma of the larynx: report of a case and review of literature.
abstract: Liposarcomas of the larynx are extremely rare tumors, with only 37 cases reported in the English or French literature to date. The first two cases of laryngeal liposarcomas were reported respectively by Kapur and Dockerty in 1968 [1, 2]. Liposarcoma of the larynx is at high risk of local recurrence and seldom has metastatic potential. Prognosis for this tumor is better than that of non laryngeal liposarcoma. The present case is the first patient of primary liposarcoma of the larynx reported from China. A review of the literature was performed, and the presentation, position, pathological diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of the patients with liposarcoma of the larynx of the reported cases before are analyzed.
