Halgas B, Viera J, MacNealy M, Huitron S, Gorrell R. Gastric liposarcoma treated successfully with partial gastrectomy. J Case Rep Images Oncology 2019;5:100060Z10BH2019.ABSTRACT
Introduction: Liposarcoma is a malignant tumor of immature fat cells or lipoblasts most commonly occurring in the extremities or retroperitoneum, but rarely found on or within visceral organs.
Case Report: We report a case of a symptomatic gastric liposarcoma successfully diagnosed pre-operatively by imaging and immunohistochemistry ultimately treated with a partial gastrectomy.
Conclusion: This case highlights reviews the importance of preoperative tissue diagnosis, adequate resection, and a multi-disciplinary approach towards infrequently encountered tumors. Based on this experience and a review of available case reports and series, we offer safe and reasonable recommendations for the work-up and treatment of gastric liposarcomas.
