We present a rare case of a big oesophageal liposarcoma causing dysphagia and weight loss in a 75-year-old patient. Endoscopically, a pedunculated lesion with subtotal obstruction of the oesophageal lumen had been detected and thoracoabdominal oesophageal resection with gastric sleeve reconstruction was performed. Surprisingly, a liposarcoma of the oesophagus was revealed on histopathological analysis, showing MDM2 overexpression. Oncological follow-up has been uneventful and the patient remains in good clinical shape at 15 months after surgery.

Background: Primary mediastinal liposarcomas (PLMs) are extremely rare. Patients typically present with symptoms caused by tumor size, as the mass can compress surrounding tissues and organs. Here, we report a case of a large primary mediastinal liposarcoma that was successfully resected thoracoscopically.

A 61-year-old woman presented to our team with giant mediastinal liposarcoma causing compression of the esophagus, bronchus, and left atrium. Given the patient's advanced presentation and reduced cardiac reserve, rescue venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation was used in addition to standard robotic-assisted thoracic surgery for mass resection.

Article Synopsis
- Esophageal liposarcoma is a rare type of cancer, predominantly affecting the soft tissues in areas like the extremities and retroperitoneum.
- A 69-year-old man was diagnosed with a 12-cm esophageal dedifferentiated liposarcoma after undergoing an endoscopy and imaging, revealing a tumor with normal mucosa on the surface.
- The tumor was completely resected using a cervical approach, which successfully preserved the esophagus and resulted in an uneventful recovery for the patient.

This case report presents the successful endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) of a well-differentiated esophageal liposarcoma in a 51-year-old male with persistent dysphagia. The cause was initially diagnosed as a 10 cm pedunculated lesion extending from the upper esophageal sphincter to the mid-esophagus. An ESD was chosen over traditional surgery because it is less invasive.
