A patient had undergone surgical resection twice for primary and
metastatic dedifferentiated liposarcomas. Follow-up computed tomography
revealed a new tumor mass located at the cavoatrial junction. Prompt
surgical resection of the tumor with thrombectomy was successfully
performed using cardiopulmonary bypass with hypothermic circulatory
arrest. We report a rare case of a patient surviving for 8 years after
the first tumor resection despite the poor prognosis of metastatic or
recurrent liposarcoma.
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.
