Abstract

We describe a mediastinal myxoid liposarcoma in a 47-year-old man who developed recurrent lung infection, treated by surgery associated with radiotherapy. The report of this case and a review of literature bring the authors to outline the epidemiological, clinical and therapeutic profile of this rare tumor.
