A giant esophageal liposarcoma showing rapid growth over 7 months is presented in 56-year-old man. It originated from the pharyngo-esophageal junction with a short stalk, and extended downward to the distal esophagus. A barium swallow study showed a large, sausage-like intraluminal mass in the dilated esophagus. CT and MR imaging showed a heterogeneous mass with a fatty component in the esophagus. A total laryngopharyngo-esophagectomy was performed and the histological diagnosis was of a well-differentiated liposarcoma.
