Giant Lower Limb Myxoid Liposarcoma Causing Deep Vein Thrombosis, Complicated with Pulmonary Embolism Case Report

Liposarcoma (LPS) is one of the most common histologic subtypes of adult soft tissue sarcoma. Here, we report the case of a 52-year-old woman complaining of shortness of breath, chest pain, painful leg swelling 24 hour before presentation at our institution.

Despite a vascular, soft part ultrasound and CTA, which suspected a voluminous haematoma, a huge tumour was found and a myxoid liposarcoma was identified by surgical excision and a histological examination, respectively.
