Abstract

Giant pedunculated liposarcoma of the esophagus is considered a rare entity. They impose difficulties in management, especially the surgical approach. We report a case of giant pedunculated liposarcoma of the esophagus in a 62-year-old male who underwent cervical excision of this large tumor, and made a full recovery. Hurthle cell thyroid cancer was found during the work-up, which was managed accordingly.
