Abstract

Lipogenic tumors of the retropharyngeal space are neoplasms that can grow to a considerable size before becoming symptomatic.  Careful inspection of preoperative imaging will heighten suspicion for malignancy, which is critical in planning treatment. In this study we compare clinical, radiologic, and histologic findings of benign and malignant lipogenic tumors of the retropharyngeal space.

Keywords: lipogenic tumor, retropharyngeal
