A case of high-grade differentiated liposarcoma in the oesophagus

Liposarcoma is a rare malignancy that is typically amenable to surgical resection if there are no distant metastases.<sup>1</sup> However, it has a high degree of misdiagnosis. The primary differential diagnoses are sarcoma, gastrointestinal stromal tumour (GIST), and fibrovascular polyp.<sup>2</sup> The diagnosis and management of liposarcoma remain challenging due to its lack of specific clinical symptoms and the absence of standardized and effective treatment protocols. Here, we present a case of high-grade, well-differentiated liposarcoma of the oesophagus. It is hoped that this report will increase awareness of the imaging features of this rare neoplasm among radiologists and clinicians, thereby reducing the likelihood of missed diagnoses.

Abstract

Liposarcoma is a rare malignancy that is typically amenable to surgical resection if there are no distant metastases.<sup>1</sup> However, it has a high degree of misdiagnosis. The primary differential diagnoses are sarcoma, gastrointestinal stromal tumour (GIST), and fibrovascular polyp.<sup>2</sup> The diagnosis and management of liposarcoma remain challenging due to its lack of specific clinical symptoms and the absence of standardized and effective treatment protocols. Here, we present a case of high-grade, well-differentiated liposarcoma of the oesophagus. It is hoped that this report will increase awareness of the imaging features of this rare neoplasm among radiologists and clinicians, thereby reducing the likelihood of missed diagnoses.
