Liposarcome myxoide sous cutané

Although myxoid liposarcomas (MLS) are the most common type of soft-tissue sarcomas in adults, their primary location in the superficial tissues is rare. So sarcomas are classified as superficial and deep-seated. They are distinct based on their location and their frequency as well as their prognosi...

description Although myxoid liposarcomas (MLS) are the most common type of soft-tissue sarcomas in adults, their primary location in the superficial tissues is rare. So sarcomas are classified as superficial and deep-seated. They are distinct based on their location and their frequency as well as their prognosis which is relatively better in superficial sarcomas. We here report the case of a patient with subcutaneous liposarcoma in the right thigh. The diagnosis was confirmed by histology after clinical symptoms had evolved over 1 year. Treatment involved wide surgical resection followed by locoregional radiation therapy. Patient’s evolution was marked by complete remission maintained after 32 months follow-up. This study highlights that superficial sarcomas are rare and this can cause a delay in diagnosis compromising their prognosis.
