Case Report
Overview
Introduction:
Liposarcoma is one of rare soft tissue tumours. Usually, it is localised in soft tissues of the extremities, can however be localised even in body cavities. The prognosis depends on the localisation and differentiation of the tumour.
Case report:
We present a patient indicated for surgical revision due to recurrence (or persistence) after previous surgery and debulking of a myxoid liposarcoma. Laparotomy with debulking, low anterior rectal resection with coloanal anastomosis, and protective ileostomy were done. No adverse events occurred in the postoperative period. However, another recurrence was observed in the subsequent follow-up.
Conclusion:
Myxoid liposarcoma is a rare tumour with a relatively good prognosis when radically removed; in case of intraperitoneal localisation it however remains a virtually unsolvable problem.
Key words:
liposarcoma – debulking − recurrence
