Liposarcomas of the gastrointestinal tract are exceedingly rare. Only nine cases of esophageal involvement have been described. A 68-year-old woman presented with an episode of vomiting followed by extrusion of a polypoid mass from the mouth. This 10th case of esophageal liposarcoma is the first in the literature to report a recurrence 25 years after the first episode.
