Liposarcoma of the larynx is an extremely rare malignancy. Only 18 cases have been reported in the literature. We herein report the first case of primary liposarcoma of supra-glottic larynx in a 53-years old male patient successfully treated with radiotherapy in August-September 1992. He currently remains free of the disease 4.5 years since the initial diagnosis.
