Esophageal liposarcoma is an extremely rare tumor. The majority of patients are males; dysphagia is the most common initial symptom, and preoperative biopsy is unreliable. Because these tumors are pedunculated, well-circumscribed, and well-differentiated, they can be safely resected locally. All patients need long-term follow-up as this disease can recur many decades after treatment.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
