Left inguinal dedifferentiated liposarcoma and primary unclassified sarcoma of the left lung as synchronous multiple sarcomas: a case report
We encountered a rare case of synchronous multiple primary sarcomas, one presenting in the lung and the other in the soft tissue. Surgery was required to achieve a definitive diagnosis for the patient, who achieved disease-free survival at 1 year. This case suggests that proactive resection of pulmonary nodules in patients with soft tissue sarcomas may be feasible as a diagnostic treatment if complete resection is achieved.
