“…Liposarcoma is a rare mesenchymal neoplasm, accounting for only 1% of all malignancies ( 4 ). Liposarcoma is classified into four subtypes according to the 2019 National Comprehensive Cancer Network classification of liposarcoma: well-differentiated, myxoid, pleomorphic and dedifferentiated.…”

A 68-year-old woman was admitted with a persistent cough and dyspnea that had persisted for 4 months prior. Chest computed tomography revealed a tumor protruding from the membranous portion of the trachea. She underwent tumor resection via rigid and flexible bronchoscopy to relieve the symptoms and obtain a diagnosis. After the procedure, she was diagnosed with tracheal liposarcoma. Three months after the procedure, she underwent complete surgical tumor resection. Liposarcoma is a mesenchymal tumor that usually develops in the extremities and the retroperitoneum. Tracheal liposarcoma is extremely rare. To the best of our knowledge, this is only the second reported case.

“…Mediastinal tumors may adhere to or invade the surrounding tissues including the vessels, lung, thoracic wall, diaphragm, and pericardium. [ 9 ] To achieve R0 resection, the tumor and the invaded surrounding tissues should be completely removed. Injury to the vital tissues (e.g., great vessels and recurrent laryngeal nerve) should be avoided during RS.…”

Background This study aims to evaluate the surgical treatment outcomes of giant mediastinal tumors. Methods Between July 2013 and July 2018, medical data of a total of 31 patients (26 males, 5 females; mean age 27.7±8.2 years; range, 18 to 56 years) who underwent radical surgery for a giant mediastinal tumor in our center and 47 cases (26 males, 21 females; mean age 45.4±16.7 years; range, 19 to 62 years) of giant mediastinal tumors retrieved from the National Center for Biotechnology Information database were retrospectively reviewed. Two-year overall survival and disease-free survival rates of the patients were evaluated. Results All patients underwent radical surgery (R0 resection). Symptoms caused by giant mediastinal tumors were relieved after radical surgery during follow-up. The two-year overall survival and disease-free survival rates were 100% and 86.7%, respectively, indicating a good prognosis. The surgical procedures for malignancies were more difficult than those for benign pathologies. Conclusion Radical surgery is the mainstay for treatment of giant mediastinal tumors to relieve symptoms in a short period of time and to achieve a good prognosis for up to two years, regardless of adjuvant therapy. The surgical route should be cautiously planned before radical surgery to reduce complications.
