- Laryngopharyngeal foreign bodies are among the cases most frequently encountered by otolaryngologists. Most foreign bodies can be easily removed without any complications. However, surgical removal is required in some cases. Therefore, a delayed diagnosis or misdiagnosis could cause fatal complications for patients who need a surgical approach. We report a rare case of extraluminal migration of a foreign body to the deep cervical space. The foreign body (a fishbone) was removed by a surgical approach. With a literature review, we also propose an algorithm for the management of suspicious foreign bodies in the neck.

Liposarcomas are common mesenchymal malignant tumors arising from adipose tissue. Although liposarcomas are the most frequent type of soft tissue sarcomas, accounting for approximately 20% of all soft tissue sarcomas, they are rare in the head and neck, particularly in the oral cavity. Oral liposarcomas have been reported to occur mainly on the buccal mucosa, with other sites including the floor of the mouth, tongue, palate, and mandible. This report describes a 76-year-old male patient with an atypical lipomatous tumor/well-differentiated liposarcoma of the tongue that underwent surgical excision. This report also reviews published data on these rare tumors.
