Sumario:Liposarcomas are rare in childhood, representing < 1% of all childhood soft tissue sarcomas. The most frequent site of involvement are the extremities with the involvement of head and neck being an absolute rarity. Pleomorphic subtype of liposarcoma is pretty aggressive and hence portends a poor prognosis. Here, we present the case of a child who presented with a recurrence of liposarcoma in the neck and mediastinum within 3 months of the index surgery. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s12070-021-02837-w.
