Abstract
- Primary pulmonary liposarcoma is extremely rare disease. It has poor prognosis with early multiple metastases and frequent local recurrences. Surgery is the choice of treatment for liposarcoma. Incomplete resection would result in rapid and aggressive growing of the tumor. We report a case of primary pulmonary liposarcoma which was successfully treated with complete resection without local recurrence and distant metastasis for 10 months.
