Abstract

Liposarcoma (LPS) is one of the most common histologic subtypes of adult soft tissue sarcoma. Here, we report the case of a 52-year-old woman complaining of shortness of breath, chest pain, painful leg swelling 24 hour before presentation at our institution.

Despite a vascular, soft part ultrasound and CTA, which suspected a voluminous haematoma, a huge tumour was found and a myxoid liposarcoma was identified by surgical excision and a histological examination, respectively.
