A 63-year-old male was pointed out as showing an abnormal shadow on a chest radiograph. Chest CT showed a well-circumscribed mass in the anterior mediastinum. The tumor was suspected of being a solitary fibrous tumor on CT-guided needle biopsy. We performed resection of the tumor and pericardium, suspected of being invaded, by median sternotomy. The postoperative pathological diagnosis was dedifferentiated liposarcoma, and we performed postoperative chemotherapy. Dedifferentiated mediastinal liposarcoma is very rare. We report this case with a review of the relevant literature.
