“…Sarcomas are rarely found in colonic polyps, with only 3 case reports of liposarcoma in colonic polyps previously described. Polypoid liposarcomas of the GI tract have been more frequently described in other regions such as the esophagus, stomach, and small intestine [9][10][11][12].…”

“…The reported clinical symptoms include abdominal pain, diarrhea, weight loss, hematemesis, melena, anemia, constipation, and a palpable mass. It may also result in intestinal obstruction, intussusception [6][7][8], or may mimic acute appendicitis [4].…”

Gastrointestinal liposarcomas are extremely rare with the most common reported morphological subtype being dedifferentiated liposarcoma and well-differentiated liposarcoma. These tumors are rarely diagnosed preoperatively and diagnosis is only confirmed on histopathological analysis. Treatment of gastrointestinal liposarcomas consists of surgical excision with widely negative margins followed by post-operative irradiation and close follow-up. We report an exceedingly rare case of myxoid liposarcoma of the small bowel (ileum) presenting with an unusual presentation with intussusception and intestinal obstruction. A 42-year-old male presented to the emergency department with features of intestinal obstruction. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography abdomen revealed ileo-ileal intussusception with an endoluminal soft-tissue lesion at the leading edge. The patient was taken for surgical intervention and the involved segment of the bowel along with the lesion was resected and re-anastomosis done. Histological sections of the mass along with immunohistochemistry suggested the pathological diagnosis of myxoid liposarcoma.

“…Nevertheless, it would appear that the hest results are obtained by the administration of dextran within close proximity to the maximal stimulus to thrombus formation. Those patients who received a higher dose schedule appeared to derive the most protection (Atik, 1969;Lambie ef alii, 1969).…”

T h e prophylaxis of venous thromboembofism after operation has increased the interest in the administration of drugs which depress in-nitro platelet function. An. animal model was designed to test some of these drugs, utilizing a free-gowing venous system in which intimal damage and platelet deposition at an electrode were primary events. Heparin, in generally recognized therapeutic doses, was the most effective drug tested; lesser doses still had a significant though diminished effect. Acetyl salicylic acid in three-dose schcdules was most effective at high plasma concentrations. Likewise, higher doses of dipyridamole were effective in preventing thrombus formation. I t was interesting to note a synergistic effect of a combination of low doses of acetyl salicylic acid and dipyridamole 'when each agent used alone had a minor thromboprophylactic effect. H i g h molecular weight dextran had more effect in higher doses, but at the expense o f a marked prolongation of the bleeding time. T h e results of these animal experiments are discussed with reference to recent clinical trials of similar agents. Possible alternative mechanisms are suggested to produce the same effect as heparin in subtherapeutic doses.
