Abstract

Primary pleomorphic liposarcoma of the chest wall is a rare entity. Most of the reported cases of the chest wall liposarcomas are low grade, well differentiated with mediastinal extension. Majority of these develop from a subcutaneous lipoma. Complete surgical resection is the preferred treatment modality. The bene?t of adjuvant radiotherapy or chemoradiotherapy for these tumors is a subject of debate. We report, an unusual case of high grade primary pleomorphic subtype of liposarcoma in a 50-year-old male presenting with a painful swelling in the anterior thoracic wall extending into the pleura but without any mediastinal involvement or distant metastasis.
