Does repeated surgical resection improve symptomatic relief and survival in a patient with recurrent primary liposarcoma of the pericardium?
Repeated resection of recurrent mediastinal liposarcoma should be considered as an appropriate management strategy for symptomatic relief and life prolongation.
Kendall et al. (1993) conducted a case report in Primary liposarcoma of the pericardium (n=1). Repeated surgical resections was evaluated on Symptomatic relief and survival. Repeated surgical resections for recurrent primary liposarcoma of the pericardium provided excellent symptomatic relief and prolonged the patient's life for 14 years.
