[Chest wall lipoma mimicking a well differentiated liposarcoma; report of two cases].
[well-differentiated liposarcoma]
We
experienced
2
cases
of
chest
wall
lipoma
mimicking
a
well
differentiated
liposarcoma
.
The
1
st
case
was
a
60
-
year
-old
female
.
She
admitted
to
our
hospital
with
abnormal
shadow
detected
by
chest
X-
ray
.
Positron
emission
tomography
combined
with
computed
tomography
(
PET-
CT
)
revealed
fatty
tumor
penetrating
left
chest
wall
without
significant
accumulation
of
fluoro-
2
-
deoxy-
D-
glucose
(
FDG
)
.
Resection
of
the
tumor
with
partial
resection
of
the
6
th
and
7
th
ribs
with
were
performed
,
because
the
tumor
was
suspected
to
invade
surrounding
tissues
by
surgical
findings
.
The
other
case
was
a
41
-
year
-old
male
.
He
admitted
to
our
hospital
with
abnormal
shadow
detected
by
chest
X-
ray
.
PET-
CT
revealed
fatty
tumor
penetrating
left
chest
wall
and
its
standard
uptake
value
(
SUV
)
was
1
.
2
.
The
tumor
was
resected
with
surrounding
periosteum
and
intercostal
muscle
without
thoracotomy
.
Both
cases
were
diagnosed
as
lipoma
by
pathology
.
