a successful resection of cardiac metastasis of round cell liposarcoma
Authors
abstract
myxoid is a common type of liposarcoma. cardiac metastasis of sarcoma is a rare diagnosis. transthoracic echocardiography is a useful tool for beginning the diagnosis. curative resection of metastasis and then combination systemic chemotherapy for advanced disease is recommended. we report a 50 year old woman who presented with a cardiac metastasis of high grade round cell liposarcoma to right atrium and right ventricle. the tumor was diagnosed with computed tomography and transthoracic echocardiography. the tumor size was 10*10 cm. this is the second report of successful resection of a large intracardiac metastasis of liposarcoma.

A Successful Resection of Cardiac Metastasis of Round Cell Liposarcoma
Myxoid is a common type of liposarcoma. Cardiac metastasis of sarcoma is a rare diagnosis. Transthoracic echocardiography is a useful tool for beginning the diagnosis. Curative resection of metastasis and then combination systemic chemotherapy for advanced disease is recommended. We report a 50 year old woman who presented with a cardiac metastasis of high grade round cell liposarcoma to righ...
full textSuccessful Resection of a Large Incidentally Found Primary Mediastinal Liposarcoma
Primary liposarcoma of the mediastinum is an uncommon tumour. We report a case of a 45-year-old female who was found incidentally to have a large anterior mediastinal mass. Complete removal of the tumour was accomplished successfully. Appropriate immunohistochimical stains were performed, confirming the presence of a well-differentiated liposarcoma of the mediastinum. We describe an unusual cas...
full textCell Senescence in Myxoid/Round Cell Liposarcoma
Myxoid/round cell liposarcoma (MLS/RCLS) is the second most common liposarcoma type and characterized by the fusion oncogenes FUS-DDIT3 or EWSR1-DDIT3. Previous analysis of cell cycle regulatory proteins revealed a prominent expression of G1-cyclins, cyclin dependent kinases, and their inhibitors but very few cells progressing through the G1/S boundary. Here, we extend the investigation to prot...
full textSubcutaneous Myxoid and Round Cell Liposarcoma
Myxoid and round cell liposarcoma is a variant of liposarcoma characterized by a morphologic continuum in which tumor progression from low-grade myxoid to high-grade hypercellular or round cell areas may be observed. A 28-year old man presented with a painful skin colored subcutaneous mass on his left flank. The skin lesion was discovered about two months ago. Computed tomography revealed a wel...

Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers in women. As we know, cardiac metastases occur rarely. In this study, a 40-year-old woman referred to the hospital due to severe pain in the right leg. She was diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and received treatment, but, after one month and a half she returned with severe pain, exacerbated shortness of breath, cramping pain, and chest pa...
full textSuccessful resection of a giant primary liposarcoma of the posterior mediastinum.
Primary liposarcomas of the mediastinum are extremely rare neoplasms, comprising less than 1% of all mediastinal tumors. These tumors occur most commonly in the lower extremities (75%) and less frequently in the retroperitoneum. We present a case involving a successful radical resection of a large myxoid liposarcoma and its recurrence, both located in the posterior mediastinum.
