Multicentric well‐differentiated liposarcomas. A case report and a brief review of the literature

This is a case report of a 49‐year‐old woman who up to now developed a sequence of 12 histologically similar well‐differentiated liposarcomas apparently of independent origin. All tumors arose in intermuscular fascial planes, except for one arising in the mediastinum. A brief review of the literatur...

Description
Summary:This is a case report of a 49‐year‐old woman who up to now developed a sequence of 12 histologically similar well‐differentiated liposarcomas apparently of independent origin. All tumors arose in intermuscular fascial planes, except for one arising in the mediastinum. A brief review of the literature is given, and the question of metastases versus multicentric origin is discussed.
