Case Presentation: Patient was transferred from another facility intubated with history of gradual worsening hoarseness, dysphagia, and dyspnea. His past medical history included a laryngeal spindle cell lipoma and more recently Interferon therapy for Hep C. Initial physical exam revealed an irregular shaped mass arising from the left aryteniod, obstructing the airway. CT of the neck showed the mass with no extension to the soft tissues of the neck and no cartilage invasion. The patient underwent endoscopic resection. Histology revealed a well-differentiated liposarcoma.
