VAZQUEZ GONZALEZ, José Manuel; DANTA FUNDORA, Debora; COLLADO OTERO, Juan Carlos y PAREDES LOPEZ, Dagmar. Metastatic liposarcoma present in mediastinum . Rev Cubana Cir [online]. 2009, vol.48, n.3, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1561-2945.
Authors present the case of a woman aged 59 operated on in three occasions due to the presence of neck nodules. Biopsy from two of them informs that be about a pleomorphous liposarcoma. After 6 years she came to consultation by a picture of high retrosternal pain and slight dyspnea. Thorax tomography shows a solid mass in anterior mediastinum. We made exeresis of a 10 cm diameter soft solid mass. Pathological Anatomy Service reported on relapse of a pleomorphous liposarcoma. In general, the postoperative course was satisfactory. Literature reviewed shows that the surgical treatment is the more used procedure in these cases.
