A case of primary liposarcoma of the pericardium, an exceptionally rare localization, has been presented. The tumor localized in the region of the left ventricle and connected to the visceral wall of the pericardium was diagnosed in a 38-year old male. Histological, histochemical and immunochemical findings confirmed the diagnosis of the liposarcoma of the pericardium.

Article Synopsis
- Liposarcoma is a common type of sarcoma known for spreading to areas outside the lungs, including rare cases of heart metastases, often requiring surgical intervention for treatment.
- A 62-year-old man with a myxoid liposarcoma developed a metastasis in his heart 19 years after his initial surgery, which was treated successfully with chemotherapy and radiotherapy instead of surgery.
- This case highlights the importance of using non-surgical treatment methods for managing cardiac metastases from sarcomas, showing that effective long-term outcomes can be achieved without surgery, contradicting the belief that surgery is always necessary for such cases.

Background: Primary mediastinal liposarcoma is a rare malignancy of mesenchymal origin with local aggressive biological behavior which is often diagnosed as an incidental finding without any symptoms. Chemoresistance and low radiosensitivity of these tumors favors surgical resection as the only option for radical treatment. The potential need for extended resections of adjacent structures is not uncommon and could be challenging.
