ABSTRACT

Liposarcoma is a malignant tumor that occurs in adipocytes, accounting for 5% of all sarcomas. Generally, it has no symptoms and it occurs in any parts of the body. There are various types of liposarcoma. Of these, 40-45% are known as highly differentiated liposarcoma, and highly differentiated liposarcoma is also referred to as atypical lipomatous tumor. We report a case of an atypical lipomatous tumor on the left neck. (J Clinical Otolaryngol 2018;29:286-289)
