A case report of liposarcoma with multiple lipomas

Abstract

A 51-year-old male was referred to us with resection of liposarcoma of the upper back region. The patient underwent wide resection of the primary lesion including partially the trapezius muscles, and skin graft. Histological examination revealed no residual lesion of liposarcoma and two lipomas of the lumbar region. The patient is alive without local recurrence and distant metastasis at twenty months postoperatively. [Skin Cancer (Japan) 2001; 16: 332-335]
