AI Article Synopsis
- Primary liver liposarcoma is a rare condition with limited knowledge on its clinical management and outcomes.
- A 61-year-old female patient experienced severe symptoms and underwent successful tumor resection, but the cancer recurred several times, leading to multiple surgeries.
- Despite the aggressive nature of her disease and eventual metastasis, repeated surgeries offered her the best chance for long-term survival, allowing her to live for 26 months post-diagnosis.
Article Abstract
Primary liver liposarcoma is a rare disease. Because of its rarity, the knowledge of the clinical course, management, and prognosis of primary liver liposarcoma are all limited for clinicians. A 61-year-old female patient who suffered from a huge primary liposarcoma in the central portion of the liver had the clinical presentations of fever, nausea, vomiting, jaundice, and body weight loss. The huge tumor was resected successfully. However, the tumor recurred repeatedly and she had repeated hepatectomies to remove the tumor. The tumor became aggravating after repeated surgeries. Eventually, the patient had cervical spinal metastasis of liposarcoma and she survived for 26 months after liver liposarcoma was diagnosed. Although the tumor may become aggravating after repeated surgeries, repeated hepatectomies are still the best policy to achieve a long-term survival for the patients.
