Posterior mediastinal liposarcoma simulating a lung mass: an unusual case report.

Liposarcomas constitute approximately 15% of all sarcomas among the mesenchymal neoplasms. They usually arise in the lower extremities or in the retroperitoneum but have been reported in sites such as abdomen, vulva and buttocks. Primary mediastinal liposarcomas are rare with less than 100 cases reported worldwide so far. We present an interesting case of primary myxoid LPS of the posterior mediastinum with presenting complaints, imaging diagnosis and management with a review of the current literature.
