Description
Authors present the case of a woman aged 59 operated on in three occasions due to the presence of neck nodules. Biopsy from two of them informs that be about a pleomorphous liposarcoma. After 6 years she came to consultation by a picture of high retrosternal pain and slight dyspnea. Thorax tomography shows a solid mass in anterior mediastinum. We made exeresis of a 10 cm diameter soft solid mass. Pathological Anatomy Service reported on relapse of a pleomorphous liposarcoma. In general, the postoperative course was satisfactory.
