Giant gluteal lipoma-like liposarcoma: a case report

BACKGROUND: Liposarcoma is the second most common soft tissue sarcoma in adults with a peak incidence between the 4(th )and 6(th )decade of life and slight preponderance to the male gender. It originates from multipotential primitive mesenchymal cells, rather than mature adipose tissue. CASE PRESENT...

description BACKGROUND: Liposarcoma is the second most common soft tissue sarcoma in adults with a peak incidence between the 4(th )and 6(th )decade of life and slight preponderance to the male gender. It originates from multipotential primitive mesenchymal cells, rather than mature adipose tissue. CASE PRESENTATION: An unusual case of a rapidly growing giant lipoma-like liposarcoma of the left gluteal and perineal areas in a young male was presented. The patient was managed by wide local excision of the lesion and coverage with split thickness skin graft. The key issues surrounding the treatment of lipoma-like liposarcoma and literature review is discussed. CONCLUSION: For such unusual case of this particular rapidly growing tumor, a longer follow-up is needed to evaluate the outcome in these cases.
