Liposarcoma of the thyroid gland mimicking retrosternal goiter.

Primary liposarcoma of the thyroid gland is extremely rare with only two previous reports in the literature. We report two further cases, both patients presenting with rapid airways compression. Patient 1 had clinical, radiographic, and biopsy appearances suggesting benign goiter. Patient 2 had a long-term history of benign goiter, a previous partial thyroidectomy, and more recent biopsies showing liposarcoma. The management of such rare conditions is always challenging.
