A 75-year-old man presented with a fever. Computed tomography revealed a 10 cm solid tumor under the duodenum. A pre-operative diagnosis of liposarcoma was established using biopsy. Pancreaticoduodenectomy was performed, and the pathological examination led to the diagnosis of dedifferentiation type liposarcoma. Two years later, the liposarcoma recurred at the remnant pancreas. A total remnant pancreatectomy was performed. The pathological examination revealed dedifferentiated type liposarcoma and positive surgical margins. Therefore, radiotherapy of 59.4 Gy in 33 fractions was performed at the recurrence area. The patient has been recurrence-free from 1 year 6 months since the second operation.

Objective: The goal of this study was to better understand the epidemiology, clinical characteristics, and treatment outcomes of head and neck sarcomas using real-world data from Japan.
Methods: Using the Japanese Head and Neck Cancer Registry, we identified 438 patients who were pathologically diagnosed with head and neck sarcoma between 2011 and 2020. We compared epidemiological, clinical, and prognostic data for the different histological types of sarcoma.

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.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFSoft tissue sarcomas (STSs) are conventionally viewed as poorly immunogenic tumors; however, some human STSs have recently been reported to elicit an immune response, thus representing potential candidates for immunotherapy. Data regarding immune cell infiltrates in canine STSs are limited and reported without tumor-type stratification. The aim of this study was to retrospectively assess tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) in canine STSs of 5 different histotypes.

Introduction: Spindle cell sarcoma (SCS) is a sarcoma subtype rarely described in the abdominal cavity, and with a worse prognosis compared with that at other sites. We report a case of SCS occurring at the anastomosis after ileal resection for colorectal cancer.
Presentation Of Case: An 86-year-old woman with a chief complaint of abdominal pain had undergone ileal resection, D2 dissection, and hand-sewn anastomosis in 2011 to treat papillary stage I adenocarcinoma.
