The surgical management of a giant pleomorphic liposarcoma of the chest wall.
[liposarcoma]
Pleomorphic
liposarcomas
are
rare
entities
with
less
than
40
cases
diagnosed
each
year
,
of
which
a
small
proportion
arise
from
the
chest
wall
.
Optimal
management
involves
wide
local
resection
with
negative
margins
.
We
describe
the
case
of
a
69
-
year
-old
gentleman
with
a
chronically
growing
chest
wall
mass
.
After
computed
tomography
and
positron-emission
tomography
,
the
mass
was
resected
.
Chest
wall
reconstruction
was
performed
with
mesh
and
a
transverse
rectus
abdominis
myocutaneous
flap
.
The
patient
did
well
postoperatively
,
with
no
evidence
of
recurrence
at
10
months
.
