Liposarcomas are malignant soft tissue neoplasms usually located in the retroperitoneum, head, neck and extremities. Although secondary invasion of the gastrointestinal tract by retroperitoneal sarcomas is frequent, primary involvement is uncommon. We report a young patient with Crohn's disease in remission presenting with intussusception of the colon due to a primary liposarcoma of the sigmoid. Emergency resection confirmed the diagnosis. The patient remains in remission after five years. This represents the youngest diagnosis of liposarcoma to date and the first occurring in the sigmoid. We also highlight the concomitant diagnosis of Crohn´s disease.

Outcome of Soft Tissue Popliteal Sarcomas: 15 Years of Experience.
Indian J Orthop
January 2025
Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology, Abdurrahman Yurtaslan Training and Research Hospital, Ankara, Turkey.
Background: Soft-tissue sarcoma involving the popliteal fossa remains challenging because it is difficult to achieve wide margins with limb salvage in this location. Adjuvant therapy is frequently necessary, and limb function can be adversely affected. We reviewed our experience with these tumors.

Department of Radiology, The Netherlands Cancer Institute, Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
Objective: To investigate imaging biomarkers of tumour response by describing changes in imaging and pathology findings after neoadjuvant radiotherapy (nRT) and exploring their correlations.
Materials And Methods: Tumour diameter, volume, and tumour-to-muscle signal intensity (SI) ratio were collected before and after radiotherapy in a cohort of 107 patients with intermediate/high-grade STS and were correlated with post-radiotherapy pathology findings (percentage of necrosis, viable cells, and fibrosis) using Spearman Rank test. Pathological complete response (pCR) was defined as no residual viable cells present, whereas the presence of < 10% viable cells was defined as near-complete pathologic response (near-pCR).
Total retroperitoneal lipectomy improves prognosis in patients with primary retroperitoneal liposarcoma: a comparative study.

Department of Retroperitoneal Tumor Surgery, Peking University International Hospital, Beijing, China.
Background: Retroperitoneal liposarcoma (RPLS) is the most common soft tissue sarcoma originating in the retroperitoneal space. Although surgery is the standard treatment, recurrence remains frequent. In this study, we aimed to explore the safety and efficacy of total (ipsilateral) retroperitoneal lipectomy (TRL) compared to traditional complete resection (CR) for primary RPLS.

Department of Surgery, Fondazione IRCCS Istituto Nazionale dei Tumori, Milan, Italy.
Background: In 2023 and 2024, a wide variety of new studies have been published in the field of soft tissue sarcomas, representing the enormous heterogeneity of sarcoma histotypes, anatomical location, treatment variability, and biological behavior.
Patients And Methods: This article summarizes the, in our view, seven most important publications in the field that will have an impact on the surgical practice and future treatment strategies of our patients.
Results: In the last year, we gained more insight in the genetic background of patients with sarcoma from a large Australian study, which will have an impact on future counseling and screening of our patients.
Early Pain Relief in Malignant Psoas Syndrome with Radiation Therapy: A Case Report.
Cureus
November 2024
Radiation Oncology, Shimane University Faculty of Medicine, Izumo, JPN.
Malignant psoas syndrome is caused by a malignant tumor infiltrating the psoas muscle and is characterized by severe pain. Currently, no definitive diagnostic or therapeutic approaches have been established for this condition. Although multiple medications are often used for pain relief, pain management can often be challenging, and there are various treatment options.
