We report a case of pleural liposarcoma in a 58-year-old male patient with a twenty-year history of smoking, who was admitted for chest pain and chronic cough. Pleural liposarcoma is a rare, highly malignant intrathoracic tumor arising from the soft tissue of the pleural cavity. Chest radiograph and CT scan revealed a homogeneous mass with subtotal opacification of the left hemithorax. Tumor diagnosis was based on histopathological examination of a transparietal biopsy and revealed a mixed type liposarcoma. Surgical resection was performed followed by adjuvant irradiation. No recurrence was diagnosed during the follow-up period of ten months and the patient continues to do well at the time of writing this paper. |
