Liposarcoma,
one of the most common soft-tissue sarcomas, originates from primitive
mesenchymal cells, and its diagnostic have been well established. Myxoid liposarcoma is the second most common
histological subtype, occurring more frequently during the fourth and fifth
decades of life.
We describe a
case of recurrent myxoid liposarcoma of the right flank in 50 years old man.
Treatment of the recurrence involved chemotherapy
neo-adjuvant (3 courses), wide surgical resection (resection R1) followed by
locoregional radiation therapy. Patient’s evolution was marked by complete remission
maintained after 12 months follow-up.
The myxoid
liposarcoma has a low rate of local failure with trimodality therapy combined
chemotherapy, radiotherapy and surgery.
