ABSTRACT

We present a case of a 70-year-old woman with a giant mass of mediastinum. A complete resection of the tumor from the left pleural cavity and posterior mediastinum was made through a posterior–anterior left thoracotomy. The mass weighted 2,495 g and its dimensions were 23 x 19 x 18 cm. The final diagnosis was consistent with a myxoid liposarcoma (MLS), and negative microscopic margins. 6 months after the surgical excision, the patient presented with a distal recurrence and she died after 11 months (AU)
