Multicentric myxoid liposarcoma; a case report and literature review.
[liposarcoma]
Liposarcoma
is
a
common
malignant
soft
tissue
tumor
,
accounting
for
10
%
to
16
%
of
all
sarcomas
.
Multicentric
myxoid
liposarcoma
is
an
uncommon
condition
.
Differentiation
between
several
primary
tumors
and
metastasis
of
a
single
liposarcoma
represents
the
main
difficulty
in
diagnosis
.
A
47
-
years
old
woman
presented
with
right
thigh
myxoid
liposarcoma
and
underwent
wide
margin
tumor
resection
.
Other
investigations
like
CXR
,
abdominal
and
pelvic
CT
-scans
were
negative
.
After
18
months
another
myxoid
liposarma
was
found
in
her
ipsi-
lateral
breast
without
any
evidence
of
other
organs
metastasis
.
Second
lesion
location
,
time
between
two
presentation
and
cytogenetic
differences
are
accepted
criteria
to
site
a
sarcoma
in
multicentric
category
,
but
in
myxoid
liposarcoma
these
can
be
explained
by
the
special
features
inherent
to
this
tumor
.
