A Case of Myxoid Liposarcoma of Neck

Liposarcoma is a very rare malignant tumor affecting the head and neck area. Since it is an invasive and lifethreatening disease, active treatments is necessary. However, differential it from lipoma, its corresponding benign counterpart, may be difficult. Herein, we report a rare case of posterior neck myxoid liposarcoma in a 72-year-old man who was initially misdiagnosed with lipoma, including a literature review of differential diagnosis between lipoma and liposarcoma.
