Key result

Surgical excision with a 2.5 cm margin resects primary subcutaneous myxoid liposarcoma of the thigh.

Why the study?

Primary subcutaneous occurrence of liposarcoma is considered rare.

Population

One 55-year-old male with primary subcutaneous myxoid liposarcoma of the right thigh

Design

Case report

Discussion

Member takes

Implication

May prompt inclusion of myxoid liposarcoma in differentials for subcutaneous thigh masses; leaves open optimal margins and surveillance in larger cohorts.

Structured PICO

Population

55-year-old male with a mass in the right thigh, subsequently diagnosed as primary subcutaneous myxoid liposarcoma

Intervention

Surgical excision with a 2.5 cm margin including part of the vastus lateralis muscle

Outcome

Histopathological and immunohistochemical diagnosis

This report documents a rare case of primary subcutaneous myxoid liposarcoma, which infrequently occurs in the dermis and subcutaneous tissue.
