Giant mucinous liposarcoma of the abdominal cavity: A case report.

Abstract

Mucinous liposarcoma myxoid liposarcoma is a malignant mucoid soft tissue tumor derived from undifferentiated stromal cells in perivascular, subbody cavity and intermuscular space, and composed of cells at different stages of differentiation from preadipocytes to mature cells. In rare cases, it may change from lipoma malignancy. The main manifestations is painless mass, relatively slow growth, the course can last decades, the prevalence of liposarcoma in the population is 14% to 18%, mainly in adults, male prevalence is higher than women, but not significant. The main good hair part is the thigh, have mucinous sex, high differentiation type, dedifferentiation type, polymorphic type. Clinical diagnosis is difficult, and there are no obvious symptoms in the early stage, so the diagnosis should be combined with B ultrasound, MRI, CT, and other auxiliary examinations. The gold standard is pathological examination. In December 2023, our department admitted a patient with a mucinous abdominal mass. The report is as follows. Does liposarcoma metastasize? Is any chemotherapy required after surgery? Will it ever relapse in the future? What is the survival period after surgery? Mucinous liposarcoma. Surgical resection of the sarcoma. The nodule sample was 33 * 28 * 13 cm, with complete capsule, gray and yellow sections, fine texture, soft, gray, red, grayish, and yellow mucoid nodules in some areas, and the maximum diameter of the nodules was 21cm. Immunohistochemistry was: CD34 (+), CDK 4 (+), CK (-), Desmin (weak +), Ki67 (index 5%), MDM 2 (-), p16 (weak +), S-100P (+), Vimentin (+), BCL-2 (+). He was also sent to the Department of Pathology of Peking Union Medical College Hospital for consultation with Professor Lu Zhaohui, whose consultation opinion was in line with myxoliposarcoma. Retroperitoneal liposarcoma is a common retroperitoneal tumor, but it is relatively rare in clinical practice; the overall morbidity is low, mainly manifested as abdominal pain and abdominal distension, abdominal distension, and a long course of disease; it is not sensitive to radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and should be closely follow up by CT examination to understand the recurrence and metastasis.
