description We report a case of retropharyngeal liposarcoma in a 53-year-old female, who had complaints of neck swelling accompanied with dysphagia, orthopnea and dysphonia. Clinical examination revealed huge multinodular swelling in front of neck with bilateral extension, more prominent on left side and moving with deglutition. The diagnosis of retropharyngeal liposarcoma was established following CT scan, MRI and incisional biopsy. Surgical excision of mass along with near total thyroidectomy was performed. Postoperative hospital stay was uneventful. She remained well in follow-up period of 1 year as well. In conclusion, retropharyngeal liposarcoma is a rare tumor. A review of the literature explores the reasons behind the late presentation as well as the difficulties in diagnosis and treatment of this rare tumor.
