چکیده

Primary esophageal liposarcoma is a rare malignancy, with only 25 cases reported in the English literature. In this report, we present a new case of giant esophageal liposarcoma in a 49-year-old woman with a family history of upper gastrointestinal tract cancer. This was a transmural tumor located in the lower esophagus. Subtotal esophagectomy was successfully performed, and histopathology revealed a well-differentiated liposarcoma. The patient was followed-up for 20 months without recurrence. However, asynchronous ovarian serous adenocarcinoma was found 1 year after the esophageal surgery, and Li-Fraumeni-like syndrome was diagnosed.

Complex replication error causes p53 mutation in a Li-Fraumeni family.

We demonstrated a germline p53 replication error in two generations of a Li-Fraumeni family affected with liposarcoma, adrenocortical carcinoma, and osteosarcoma. The trinucleotide repeat mutation changed 5'-AGT GTG GTG GTG-3' at codons 215-218 to 5'-AGT TGG TTG GTG GTG-3'. The predicted protein would be elongated by one amino acid (val216-->trp leu) without a change in charge. Detection of p53...
