case report
case report
Liposarcoma of the digestive tract is very rare only a few cases of liposarcoma
of the stomach have been reported so far.
In this article a 29-year-old woman is presented with a history of long-standing
mid-abdominal pain and various treatments for anemia and peptic ulcer disease
which did not improve her symptoms until a barium-enema revealed a filling
defect in the cecum. Under laparotomy a lobulated lipoma-like tumor with
yellowish color was seen which measured 3x4cm. A right hemicolectomy was
performed. The pathology reported a liposarcoma of the cecum with no mesenteric
lymph node involvement. The patient is free of disease 1.5 years after surgery.
As far as we know, this is the first reported case of liposarcoma of the large
bowel in the world.
Liposarcoma, intestine.
