FONTES MAESTRI, Manuel César et al. Giant mediastinal liposarcoma. Rev Cubana Cir [online]. 2007, vol.46, n.2. ISSN 0034-7493.

He was studied using anteroposterior  and lateral thoracic radiography in addition to computerized tomography.

The patient evolved positively during surgery and afterwards; at present, he has finished his adjuvant treatment based on radiotherapy and chemotherapy and he feels good
