Abstract

A case of fatal lipoblastic pulmonary liposarcoma in a 20 year-old female is reported. A thoracotomy was performed but failed to yield the pathological diagnosis. This diagnosis was obtained by ultrastructural study of a cerebral metastasis. To our knowledge, only seven cases of pulmonary liposarcoma have been previously described in the literature and the lipoblastic aspect was never mentioned.
