Abstract:
Liposarcomas are extremely rare in the mediastinum. They may achieve considerable size before causing any symptoms. Mediastinal liposarcomas may invade surrounding structures like the pericardium or the superior vena cava. Complete surgical excision is the optimal treatment in resectable cases. Excision of adjacent structures like the pericardium may be needed if the tumor infiltrates them. We report on a case of a giant liposarcoma of the mediastinum involving both hemithoraces and extending into the neck, which was successfully managed by complete surgical excision.
