INTRODUCTION Myxoid/round cell liposarcoma is the second most common subtype of liposarcoma. Chemotherapy and radiotherapy have a limited efficacy for treating advanced myxoid/round cell liposarcoma, with relatively serious side effects. CASE PRESENTATION We herein present a 68-year-old Chinese woman initially diagnosed with advanced multiple intra-abdominal and pelvic round cell liposarcoma....

Liposarcoma is the most common soft tissue malignant tumor. It mostly arises in the subcutaneous tissue of shoulders, limbs and neck, and retroperitoneal space, but head occurrence is very rare. Atypical lipomatous tumor (ALT) is a well-differentiated liposarcoma (WDLPS) and constitutes 40-45% of all liposarcoma cases. A case of 57-year-old woman with a tumor of the left cheek, causing a discre...

Myxoid liposarcoma is the second most common liposarcoma. Although myxoid liposarcoma is relatively chemosensitive and thus a good candidate for chemotherapy, cases with relapsed or metastatic disease still have poor outcome. Here, we performed a gene microarray analysis to compare the gene expression profiles in six clinical myxoid liposarcoma samples and three normal adipose tissue samples, a...

BACKGROUND Primary intrathoracic liposarcoma is an extremely rare malignancy as well as a rare histologic subtype of intrathoracic sarcoma. Relatively few reports appear in the world literatures. We explored the clinicopathologic features and prognostic factors of this tumor in this study. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed the clinicopathological data of 23 patients with primary intrathorac...

Liposarcoma is rare in children and rarely occurs in the posterior mediastinum in any age group. A massive intrathoracic tumor in a 17-year-old young man was a diagnostic dilemma; preoperative radiographic evaluation and biopsy led us to believe it was a teratoma. At operation, a poorly differentiated myxoid liposarcoma originating from the posterior mediastinum was found and excised. To our kn...

Liposarcoma of the digestive tract is very rare only a few cases of liposarcoma of the stomach have been reported so far. In this article a 29-year-old woman is presented with a history of long-standing mid-abdominal pain and various treatments for anemia and peptic ulcer disease which did not improve her symptoms until a barium-enema revealed a filling defect in the cecum. Under laparotom...

Downloa pose: Myxoid liposarcoma is a common subtype of liposarcoma. It is associated in more than 90% es with the chromosomal translocation t(12;16)(q13;p11) leading to the fusion FUS-CHOP gene responsible for the oncogenic transformation of preadipocytes. Recently the marine natural prodbectedin has shown highly selective activity for myxoid liposarcoma, even in the most aggressive -cell subt...

Liposarcoma is a common malignant soft tissue tumor, accounting for 10% to 16% of all sarcomas. Multicentric myxoid liposarcoma is an uncommon condition. Differentiation between several primary tumors and metastasis of a single liposarcoma represents the main difficulty in diagnosis. A 47-years old woman presented with right thigh myxoid liposarcoma and underwent wide margin tumor resection. Ot...

BACKGROUND Liposarcoma is one of the most common soft tissue sarcoma of adult life, usually occurring in the retroperitoneum and the extremities. Primary liposarcoma of the colon is very rare. The optimal treatment has not been established due to the small number of cases reported. We report a case of primary liposarcoma of the colon presenting as a massive intraluminal lesion. CASE PRESENTAT...

An inflammatory liposarcoma is a rare variant of a well-differentiated liposarcoma. A case of a giant variety of an inflammatory well-differentiated liposarcoma is being reported. CT scan revealed a large abdomino-pelvic mass which had displaced the gut loops to left and posteriorly and urinary bladder and uterus to right. FNAC yielded mature adipocytes with no evidence of atypical cells. The l...
