The patient was hospitalized for foreign body sensation at pharynx persisted for two months. The patient noticed that the left pharyngeal palate was elevated two months ago and was treated as pharyngitis without success. Because of no eating difficulty, loss of voice or sore throat, the patient did not seek for further treatment. Recently the foreign body sensation at pharynx was worsened and the elevation at left pharyngeal palate enlarged and affected pronunciation and speech. A bulge about 4 cm x 5 cm in size was found around left soft palate and tonsil, relatively hard in texture; The mucosal membrane of the bulge was intact with slight hyperemia. The bulge was not movable and exhibited no tenderness to touch and no bleeding to press. Left tonsil was swelling of degree I degrees, grayish white and unsmooth on the surface. Uvula was deviated slight to the right. The soft palate movement was not satisfactory. No swelling on right tonsil. The CT indicated a soft tissue mass at left parapharyngeal space, about 3.4 cm x 5.4 cm in size. leiomyosarcoma (pharynx).

Myxolipomas, or myxoid lipomas, are unusual histologic types of lipoma in which components of the tumor are replaced by mucoid substances. Lipomas of the parapharyngeal space are extremely rare with only a few cases having been reported. The presence of myxolipoma in the parapharyngeal space has not yet been reported in the literature. We present the first report of a 14-year-old female with myxolipoma in the left parapharyngeal space which was excised via a transcervical approach.

20 patients with acute leprosy, 12 patients with chronic hepatitis, 34 patients with acute myelogenous leukemia, 48 patients with pharynx cancer. 31 normal healthy persons in the control group. Immune-complexes were fixed quantity by 2 methods: precipitating the immune-complexes with PEG having molecular weight 6.10¬3 and better method. Immune-complexes (+) were identified on acute leprosy, chronic hepatitis and acute diseases with the ratio of positive differences depending on disease, stage and the character of applying technique

Spindle cell/pleomorphic lipoma is an uncommon benign adipose tissue tumor most frequently arising from the subcutaneous tissue of the back, shoulder, head and neck, and extremities. The deep cervical spaces are the rarely affected locations. Herein we report on the imaging findings of spindle cell/pleomorphic lipoma involving the retropharyngeal space in an elderly woman.
