Resumen

ALVAREZ LOPEZ, Alejandro et al. Myxoid liposarcoma of the thigh: a case report. AMC [online]. 2017, vol.21, n.5, pp.639-645. ISSN 1025-0255.

Background: malignant soft tissue tumors are not common, but among them liposarcoma has the higher incidence. Objective: to show a patient with a myxoid liposarcoma of the thigh. Case report: a 49-year-old white man, with record number 207009. The patient was taken to the Outpatient Orthopedic Department because of a soft tissue mass found in the right thigh for about six years, which in the last six months grew quickly. There was no pain and the patient refused medical assistance because of fear. On palpation a big soft tissue mass was detected with irregular margins, mix consistency, location under the fascia, deep-seated tumor although not fixed to the bone, and 30 centimeters long, 20 centimeters width and 15 centimeters deep found on the right thigh. Imaging exams like ultrasound, computed axial tomography, magnetic resonance imaging and arteriography were performed. The patient underwent surgery and a wide resection was carried out by a team of orthopedics, angiologists, general surgeons and anesthesiologists. Tumor resection was done by a safe margin. Conclusions: myxoid liposarcoma is the most common soft tumor as well as its location at the appendicular skeleton, like the thigh.
