Abstract
Myxoid liposarcoma (MLPS) is the second most prevalent subtype of liposarcoma. It is usually found in the deep tissues of the lower limbs and rarely in gynecologic tract. Herein we present the second case in the English literature of a primary MLPS arising from the broad ligament which was thought to be a borderline ovarian tumor. The aim is to discuss its clinical and pathological characteristics. A 42-year-old woman presented with pelvic pain for the last 6months. Magnetic resonance imaging was not specific. She underwent a surgical resection of the tumor mass, and pathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of MLPS deriving from the broad ligament. She received radiotherapy and the patient is doing well at 3months follow-up. The clinical aspects, pathological diagnosis, prognosis, and therapy approach of broad ligament MLPS are all poorly understood. Complete surgical resection with or without radiotherapy is the mainstay of treatment in located MLPS.
