Primary pleural liposarcoma, pleomorphic variant.
[liposarcoma]
Primary
pleural
liposarcoma
(
PPL
)
is
a
rare
tumor
derived
from
primitive
mesenchymal
tissue
.
We
report
a
case
of
a
49
-
year
-old
female
patient
complaining
of
thoracic
pain
and
dyspnea
for
3
months
.
The
chest
X-
ray
showed
a
left
basal
opacity
of
lobulated
contours
and
the
thoracic
computer
tomography
(
CT
)
scan
revealed
a
left
pleural
collection
/
mass
,
of
18
HU
density
and
passive
pulmonary
atelectasis
.
The
patient
was
taken
to
surgery
and
the
cytologic
examination
of
the
gelatinous
mass
found
in
the
procedure
confirmed
the
diagnosis
of
a
pleomorphic
variant
of
pleural
liposarcoma
.
We
emphasise
in
the
importance
of
careful
inspection
of
the
origin
of
the
tumor
in
the
diagnostic
images
to
allow
accurate
diagnosis
.
