title: Mediastinal liposarcoma with local recurrence: a case report.
abstract: Liposarcoma is a rare mediastinal tumor. The treatment of choice is surgical resection. However, recurrence is not uncommon. In this report, recurrence of liposarcoma with local extension to chest wall is described in a 70-year-old Chinese male who had liposarcoma located in the anterior mediastinum and underwent tumor resection 5 years before. Long-term follow-up is indicated in patients with mediastinal liposarcoma because there may be an interval of several years between resection and recurrence.
