[A rare primary tumor of the mediastinum: pleomorphic liposarcoma].
[pleomorphic liposarcoma]
Liposarcoma
of
the
mediastinum
is
a
rare
tumor
with
various
histologic
features
.
We
report
a
case
of
mediatinal
pleomorphic
liposarcoma
in
a
37
-
year
-old
man
who
complained
of
chest
pain
.
Computed
tomography
showed
an
anterior
expansive
process
within
the
mediastinum
.
Histological
diagnosis
was
established
by
a
trans-
thoracic
computed
tomography
guided
core-needle
biopsy
.
Despite
a
first
cure
of
chemotherapy
with
gemcitabin
/
cisplatin
,
disease
progression
led
to
death
3
months
after
diagnosis
.
Mediastinal
pleomorphic
liposarcoma
is
an
exceptional
invading
tumor
affecting
the
middle
-aged
adult
.
This
tumor
,
usually
giant
,
becomes
symptomatic
by
compression
of
mediastinal
structures
.
Surgery
is
the
best
treatment
when
possible
.
The
role
of
radiotherapy
and
chemotherapy
are
discussed
.
Prognosis
depends
both
on
the
quality
of
resection
and
the
grade
malignancy
.
