Obvious Reduction of the Tumor Size in Dedifferentiated Liposarcoma in a Lung Metastasis Patient Receiving Individualized Treatment

Abstract

Abdominal metastasis is relatively rare in dedifferentiated liposarcoma of the shoulder and back. Surgery is the best treatment option, whether it is radical or palliative surgery. Chemotherapy is the standard systemic treatment for advanced unresectable/metastatic patients, but the therapeutic effect is limited. Here, we treat advanced abdominal dedifferentiated liposarcoma through a comprehensive treatment method of targeting, surgery, and chemotherapy, which improves the quality of life of the patient, and shrinks the tumor significantly.

A Rare Case of Dedifferentiated Retroperitoneal Liposarcoma Presenting As Cardiac-Sounding Chest Pain

“…However, another study using the same regimen (as well as surgical excision) on a patient with DDL did not have a successful outcome and the patient subsequently developed new lung nodules. Therefore, it is widely accepted that the benefit from chemotherapy for DDL alone is reported to be minimal [ 17 , 18 ].…”
