Complete resection of a cavoatrial metastatic liposarcoma using cardiopulmonary bypass with hypothermic circulatory arrest is feasible and can yield satisfactory mid-term survival.
A patient underwent surgical resection twice for primary and metastatic dedifferentiated liposarcomas. Computed tomography revealed a tumor mass at the cavoatrial junction. Prompt surgical resection of the tumor with thrombectomy was successfully performed using cardiopulmonary bypass with hypothermic circulatory arrest. Despite the poor prognosis of metastatic or recurrent liposarcoma, the patient has survived for 8 years since the first tumor resection.

Matsumoto et al. (2022) conducted a case report in Cavoatrial metastatic liposarcoma (n=1). Surgical resection using cardiopulmonary bypass and hypothermic circulatory arrest was evaluated on Survival and recurrence. Prompt complete resection of a cavoatrial metastatic liposarcoma using cardiopulmonary bypass with hypothermic circulatory arrest resulted in satisfactory mid-term survival without recurrence.
