“…On CT, they vary from a predominantly fatcontaining mass to a solid mass. 7 Fat tissue indicates low attenuation levels. Poorly differentiated tumors, which tend to be quite cellular, have mean attenuation levels.…”

A dedifferentiated liposarcoma of the anterior mediastinum

Dedifferentiated liposarcoma was first described in 1979, and its definition has been recently extended. We found an undiagnosed anterior mediastinal mass in a 56- year-old man for whom we performed a complete tumor resection through median sternotomy. Microscopic examination revealed that the mass was primarily a low-grade, dedifferentiated liposarcoma, with a partial high-grade area. Occurrence of dedifferentiated liposarcoma in the anterior mediastinum is rare. We did not perform any adjuvant therapy. Three years after the surgery, the patient is alive without disease. In lipoma-like, well-differentiated liposarcoma cases, we should consider the possibility of dedifferentiated liposarcoma if a mild, atypical spindle cell component is found.

“…reports of very large primary mediastinal liposarcomas that adhered to adjacent tissues (18)(19)(20) (1,15,18). In the present case, it seemed that the part of the tumor that received radiotherapy was well controlled, whereas the rest of the tumor that did not receive radiotherapy progressed, suggesting that radiotherapy might have contributed to local control of the tumor.…”

Liposarcomas are the most common soft tissue sarcomas in adults, although liposarcomas of the chest are uncommon. We report two cases of giant liposarcoma in the mediastinum and chest wall, respectively. An 82-year-old man presented with a mass in the right upper mediastinum, as seen by computed tomography (CT). He had a past history of subcutaneous lipoma resection on his back (19 years previously). The patient underwent tumor resection with a right thoracotomy. A 58-year-old woman presented with an enlarging mass of the right lateral chest, involving the diaphragm and ribs, as seen by CT. She had a past history of subcutaneous lipoma resection of the right chest (18 years previously). The patient underwent an en bloc resection that included the tumor and a part of the right diaphragm and ribs. Histological examination of both patients' tumors revealed a well-differentiated liposarcoma, with no pathological relation to the previous lipoma resected in either case.
