Abstract

Extreme long-term survivals of low grade liposarcomas are rare. The authors present a case of a 75 year old man with a 37 year history of recurrent myxoid liposarcoma. The tumor dynamics are obviously related to the histology subtype. The clinical and radiological findings of the sixth tumor recurrence are discussed. The combination therapy of surgical tumor reduction and interventional radiology with implantation of endovascular prostheses for iliaco-femoral vein compression due to tumor recurrence is described.
