Liposarcomas generally originate most often in the extremities or retroperitoneum, less frequently in the head and neck, and rarely in the thorax. We describe a particularly rare presentation of myxoid liposarcoma originating in the supraclavicular fossa. The mass was resected and has not recurred. We searched our pathology database for other soft-tissue tumors of the supraclavicular fossa and found no other case of sarcoma originating in this site. In addition, we performed a literature review of thoracic and neck liposarcomas to identify similar cases and discuss their clinical course.

Department of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery, The Affiliated Hospital of Southwest Medical University, No.25, Taiping Street, Jiangyang District, Luzhou, 646000, China.
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of pedicled supraclavicular flaps in hypopharyngectomy reconstruction, with a focus on preserving laryngeal function.
Methods: From August 2019 to June 2022, 14 patients with primary hypopharyngeal carcinoma who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria and underwent the repair of hypopharyngeal defects using pedicled supraclavicular flaps were included retrospectively. Relevant clinical evaluation indicators include patient characteristics, defect sizes, flap sizes, flap harvesting time, postoperative hospital stay, postoperative complications, recurrence, and survival outcomes.
Anatomy, Imaging, and Surgical Treatment of Thoracic Lymphadenopathies in Advanced Epithelial Ovarian Cancer.
Cancers (Basel)
November 2024
Department of Thoracic Surgery, Fondazione IRCCS San Gerardo dei Tintori, 20900 Monza, Italy.
Ovarian cancer typically presents at advanced stages, with prognosis heavily influenced by the presence of residual disease following cytoreductive surgery. The role of resecting enlarged extra-abdominal lymph nodes during cytoreductive procedures remains contentious. These enlarged lymph nodes are commonly identified through high-resolution imaging techniques such as ultrasound (US), computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT).
