Key result
A 39-year-old female with concurrent myxoid liposarcoma and papillary thyroid carcinoma experienced multiple extrapulmonary metastases despite surgical resection and adjuvant radiotherapy, ultimately requiring palliative chemotherapy.
Why the study?
Myxoid liposarcoma is a rare soft-tissue sarcoma usually found in the retroperitoneum and extremities, making its occurrence in the thyroid unusual.
Case Report (n=1)
This case report documents a rare occurrence of myxoid liposarcoma combined with papillary carcinoma in the same thyroid gland.
Alerts clinicians to aggressive metastatic potential in rare concurrent cases; leaves open questions on pathogenesis and management.
Myxoid liposarcoma is a rare soft-tissue sarcoma that is usually observed in the retroperitoneum and extremities. In this case report, we describe a 39-year-old female patient who presented with myxoid liposarcoma of the thyroid and papillary thyroid carcinoma with recurrent lesions in the lung and retroperitoneum.

Moon et al. (2022) conducted a case report in Myxoid liposarcoma of the thyroid and papillary thyroid carcinoma (n=1). Surgical resection, adjuvant radiotherapy, and palliative chemotherapy was evaluated on Clinical outcome / disease progression. A 39-year-old female with concurrent myxoid liposarcoma and papillary thyroid carcinoma experienced multiple extrapulmonary metastases despite surgical resection and adjuvant radiotherapy, ultimately requiring palliative chemotherapy.
