Key result
Surgical resection with vascular reconstruction of a giant mediastinal liposarcoma resulted in an uneventful postoperative course with no signs of local recurrence or dissemination at 6 months.
Why the study?
Primary mediastinal liposarcoma requires surgical resection as the only radical treatment option, but extended resections can be challenging and only a limited number of cases with successful vascular reconstruction have been reported.
Population
A 69-year-old female patient with a huge mediastinal mass

May support complex resection with reconstruction at experienced centers for radicality; leaves open confirmation of recurrence benefit in larger series.
Case Report (n=1)
Extended resection with vascular reconstruction can be successfully performed for giant mediastinal liposarcoma without early recurrence.
Benej et al. (2023) conducted a case report in Primary mediastinal liposarcoma (n=1). Surgical resection with vascular reconstruction was evaluated on Local recurrence or dissemination. Surgical resection with vascular reconstruction of a giant mediastinal liposarcoma resulted in an uneventful postoperative course with no signs of local recurrence or dissemination at 6 months.
