Primary Pulmonary Liposarcoma – A Case Report

Abstract

Liposarcoma of the lung is an extremely rare disease with less than 10 cases reported to date. A case of a locally advanced, pulmonary mixed liposarcoma in a 49-year-old male is presented here. Left pneumonectomy with radical lymph node dissection was performed. The postoperative course was uneventful and no recurrence or metastasis was observed for 3 years. Although liposarcoma of the lung is classified as an aggressive, highly metastatic disease, complete resection may result in disease-free survival.

Primary dedifferentiated liposarcoma of the lung with rhabdomyoblastic and chrondroblastic differentiation

“…Previous reports of primary lung liposarcoma have described small numbers of myxoid, pleomorphic and unclassified subtypes, and only one dedifferentiated case. A lung liposarcoma arising in a hamartoma was of a well‐differentiated subtype .…”

“…Sir : Primary liposarcomas of the lung are rare, with fewer than a dozen having been reported in the literature . Among these, only one dedifferentiated liposarcoma has been described .…”
