The first case of a myxoid liposarcoma metastatic to the tongue of a 78-year-old male patient with primary scrotal liposarcoma for the past seven years is reported. The patient presented with a firm exophytic mass of the left dorsal surface of the tongue, sized 4 to 4.5 cm, with oedema and bleeding. Myxoid liposarcoma is a malignancy with relatively good prognosis and low metastatic rate but high local recurrence. This is the second case report recorded of a metastatic liposarcoma to the oral cavity. Clinical and imaging considerations, as well pathological details concerning the myxoid liposarcoma, are described.

Survival and prognostic factors among different types of liposarcomas based on SEER database.
Sci Rep
January 2025
Orthopedics Department, The First Affiliated Hospital of Army Medical University, Chongqing, China.
The aim of this study is to elucidate the disparities in survival and risk factors among different subtypes of liposarcoma, through analysis of epidemiological and prognostic data. The study cohort consisted of 12,822 patients diagnosed with liposarcoma in the United States between 2000 and 2021, whose data were retrieved from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) program. The prognosis for different subtypes of liposarcoma and the associated factors such as age, tumor stage, intervention, gender, tumor grade, location, size, chemotherapy and radiotherapy, were retrieved from the database.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate imaging biomarkers for tumor response in patients with intermediate/high-grade soft tissue sarcomas (STS) following neoadjuvant radiotherapy (nRT), focusing on changes in imaging and pathology.
- The analysis involved 107 patients, measuring tumor characteristics like diameter, volume, and signal intensity before and after treatment, and correlated these with pathological outcomes such as necrosis and viable cell percentage using statistical methods.
- Results showed a low rate of complete tumor response, with specific subtypes like myxoid liposarcoma and undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma exhibiting significant changes in tumor size and signal intensity related to necrosis and fibrosis post-radiotherapy.
Article Synopsis
- Liposarcomas are the most common type of soft tissue sarcoma, primarily found in deep tissues and the retroperitoneum.
- They include various classifications such as atypical lipomatous tumors, well-differentiated liposarcoma (WDL), dedifferentiated liposarcoma (DDL), myxoid liposarcoma, and pleomorphic liposarcoma.
- DDL is especially common in the retroperitoneum and can have both well-differentiated lipomatous and dedifferentiated components, sometimes resembling other aggressive tumors, and can even differentiate into several other cancer types or form bone tissue.
Early Pain Relief in Malignant Psoas Syndrome with Radiation Therapy: A Case Report.

Radiation Oncology, Shimane University Faculty of Medicine, Izumo, JPN.
Article Synopsis
- Malignant psoas syndrome is caused by tumor infiltration of the psoas muscle, leading to severe, challenging pain management with no established definitive treatments.
- A case study of a Japanese man in his 60s showed ineffective pain relief with various medications, prompting the use of palliative radiation therapy.
- Radiation therapy effectively reduced pain early on and showed no adverse effects, suggesting it should be considered as a viable treatment option for malignant psoas syndrome.
