- Abstract
Background: Liposarcoma is the most common sarcoma of the adult life. The histologic type well-differentiated liposarcoma occur most frequently in the retroperitoneum whereas myxoid/round cell have a predilection for the extremities. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the clinic behaviour of patient with myxoid/round cell histologic type. The factors evaluated were: tumour site, tumour size, histology, presentation status, margin status, and treatment. Clinic case: Feminine patient of 31 years old, that to present right hemiabdominal pain and increase abdominal circumference. It realized surgery resections of lipomatous tumour abdominal of large size. Later two years, was necessary to realize a second surgery because there was local recurrence and metastasis. The patient had torpid clinic evolution and later two month died patient. Conclusions: The myxoid/round cell liposarcoma have a predilection for the extremities. In the retroperitoneum, the myxoid/round cell liposarcoma has bad prognosis. The prognosis of these tumours is closely related to local recurrence, histological type, size and radical surgery. An aggressive surgical approach is the first choice for the treatment of such tumours. Chemotherapy does not seem to have a strong influence on the prognosis.
