Metastasis after resection of huge primary pericardial pleomorphic liposarcoma with cardiopulmonary bypass.
[pleomorphic liposarcoma]
Liposarcoma
is
the
most
commonly
diagnosed
soft
tissue
sarcoma
in
adults
and
occurs
predominantly
in
the
lower
limbs
or
retroperitoneal
area
.
However
,
of
the
five
types
of
liposarcoma
,
primary
pleomorphic
liposarcoma
originating
in
the
pericardium
is
extremely
rare
.
Because
of
its
location
in
the
anterior
mediastinum
,
life-threatening
symptoms
and
signs
frequently
require
urgent
surgery
with
extracorporeal
circulation
.
However
,
there
is
no
previous
report
warning
of
the
possible
dangerous
effect
of
cardiopulmonary
bypass
.
We
present
a
rare
case
of
huge
malignant
primary
pericardial
pleomorphic
liposarcoma
with
early
postoperative
multiple
metastases
which
may
be
due
to
cardiopulmonary
bypass
.
