Primary Pulmonary Myxoid Liposarcoma with Translocation t(12;16)(q13;p11) in a Young Female Patient: A Brief Case Report

Primary liposarcoma of the lung is an extremely rare disease. To date, only 14 cases have been reported in the literature. We experienced a case of myxoid liposarcoma of the lung treated by surgery. The tumor was well-defined, solid, lobulated mass measuring 3.5×2 cm, involving the bronchus of the left lower lobe. Microscopically, myxoid liposarcoma was identified. The fluorescence in situ hybridization confirmed the presence of a reciprocal translocation involving DNA damage-inducible transcript 3 (DDIT3) and fused in sarcoma (FUS) genes. The patient is still alive with no recurrence or metastasis at the time of writing this report (on 20 months postoperatively). To our knowledge, this is the first cytogenetic case report of pulmonary myxoid liposarcoma.

“…Said et al described the radiologic findings of primary pulmonary liposarcoma: a well-defined lobulated inhomogeneous hypodense mass interspersed with multiple areas of very low densities, suggestive of fat. 10 Also, on magnetic resonance imaging, the mass showed high signal intensity on T2-weighted images and low intensity with fat-saturated T2-weighted images. In our case, CT showed similar findings.…”

Background: Pleomorphic liposarcoma (PLS) is a very rare type of primary pulmonary sarcoma. Clinical data about these tumors are limited, and optimal treatment has not yet been defined. Case Report: A 32-year-old male presented with pain and heaviness over the right chest. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) of the chest showed a heterogeneous hypodense pleural-based mass and a mediastinal mass. The patient was treated with chemoradiotherapy, followed by excision and adjuvant chemotherapy. Seven months after completion of treatment, he presented with an abdominopelvic mass and soft tissue peritoneal deposits. The mass was resected, and second line chemotherapy resulted in a partial response. The patient was routinely followed. Six months after completion of the second round of chemotherapy, CECT showed multiple soft tissue deposits in the right lumbar region, right hemipelvis, and presacral region with no evidence of pulmonary disease. Chemotherapy elicited a partial response. Three years from the date of diagnosis, the patient was alive with stable disease. Conclusion: This case is unique because of the rare primary site of PLS presentation and the rare presentation of peritoneal metastasis. Citing such cases would help us to define adequate treatment protocols for this aggressive tumor.

“…We searched MEDLINE Ò for similar cases and found an additional 17 reports (Table 2) of which half have been reported in the new millennium. [19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32] This is concerning as lung cancer has become one of the leading causes of female cancer deaths. 34 Furthermore, approximately 30% of women of reproductive age (15-45 years) now smoke 35 with 11% continuing to smoke during pregnancy.…”

“…Amongst patients who delivered vaginally, only one reported the use of epidural analgesia in labour. 11 A number of patients 5,9,10,18,25,27,29 underwent other diagnostic or intended therapeutic surgical procedures before or after delivery, and others required tracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation immediately after delivery. 10,31 No details on airway management or anaesthetic technique were given.…”
