“…Generally, liposarcomas have higher local control rate than MFH, and synovial sarcomas are somewhere in between (6,11,13,17). The patient populations analysed are small, however, and liposarcoma, for example, is a highly heterogeneous disease, and it has to be emphasized that the outcome is greatly determined by its histologic subtype (14). Data on the effect of radiation on the recently defined gastrointestinal stroma cell tumours have not yet been reported.…”

“…This fact is consistent with the previous reports that liposarcomas tend to result in a local recur rence even if they were welldifferentiated tumors. 4,6,7) Brenner and colleagues reported the relationship between the histological subtypes of liposarcoma and the SUV max on PETCT scan. Significant differences were found for SUV max among tumor subtypes, and welldifferentiated liposarcoma showed a significantly lower SUV max (2.3 ± 1.7) than myxoid/round cell and pleomorphic subtypes.…”

We experienced a case of massive mediastinal liposarcoma expanding to the bilateral pleural cavities. Preoperative positron emission tomography-computed tomography scan showed that the uptake of 18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) into the tumor was slight for its size. Clamshell incision together with lower median sternotomy provided the excellent visualization and the complete resection of the tumor. The surgical resection should be performed even for a massive liposarcoma, especially if the uptake of F-FDG into the tumor is low, as complete surgical resection is the only definitive treatment for liposarcoma.

“…The effectiveness of radiotherapy is particularly high in myxoid liposarcomas. 15,16 Including local recurrences the metastasis rate is 40%. The highest rate of metastasis is for retroperitoneal location followed by abdomen, paraspinal area, lungs, and liver in decreasing order.…”

260oft tissue sarcomas are rare tumors accounting for 0.7% of all adult malignancies.1 Liposarcomas develop from mature adipose tissue cells (lipoblasts) or more frequently from primitive mesenchymal cells. 2,3 Liposarcomas are the second most common soft tissue sarcomas in adults (14-18%).4 Based on pathologic evaluation, liposarcomas are classified as well-differentiated, poorly-differentiated, myxoid, pleomorphic, and mixed types. 5 The most common type of liposarcoma is the myxoid liposarcoma; it involves the lower extremity, thigh or retroperitoneum and is sometimes multifocal.6 Liposarcomas have five subtypes with prognoses directly related with histopathologic features. Liposarcomas are located on the head and neck regions at a rate of approximately 1%.7,8 Here we present a patient with a myxoid liposarcoma on the thigh with metastasis to the scalp with a review of the literature.
