Key result
Surgical excision with clear margins and adjuvant radiotherapy resulted in a favorable outcome with no local recurrence at 7 months in a patient with myxoid pleomorphic liposarcoma.
Why the study?
Myxoid pleomorphic liposarcoma is a rare and aggressive subtype of soft tissue sarcoma with a high rate of recurrence and metastatic potential.

Surgical excision with clear margins and adjuvant radiotherapy resulted in a favorable outcome with no recurrence at 7 months in a rare case of myxoid pleomorphic liposarcoma.
Supports margin-negative excision plus radiotherapy in rare myxoid pleomorphic liposarcoma; leaves open need for larger prospective studies.
Myxoid pleomorphic liposarcoma is a rare and aggressive subtype of soft tissue sarcomas (STS). It primarily arises from adipose tissue and exhibits a high rate of recurrence and metastatic potential. We report the case of a 35-year-old male gym trainer with a 5-month history of a painless, progressively enlarging mass on the right posterior aspect of chest, diagnosed with myxoid pleomorphic liposarcoma following imaging and histopathological evaluation of the excised specimen. Surgical excision with clear margins and adjuvant radiotherapy resulted in a favorable outcome with no recurrence at 7 months. This case emphasizes the importance of early diagnosis and multidisciplinary approach in managing a rare soft tissue sarcoma to prevent complications from a delayed intervention.

Ahmed et al. (2025) conducted a case report in Myxoid pleomorphic liposarcoma (n=1). Surgical excision and adjuvant radiotherapy was evaluated on Local recurrence. Surgical excision with clear margins and adjuvant radiotherapy resulted in a favorable outcome with no local recurrence at 7 months in a patient with myxoid pleomorphic liposarcoma.
