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.

Article Synopsis
- Liposarcoma is a rare malignant tumor that can occur in the mediastinum, and most existing information comes from scattered reports rather than extensive studies.
- A 51-year-old man presented with respiratory symptoms and was found to have a large mediastinal mass that was misidentified as a teratoma; after surgery, he was diagnosed with dedifferentiated liposarcoma.
- Despite surgical intervention and chemotherapy, the patient experienced rapid recurrence and ultimately died four months post-surgery, highlighting the need for correct diagnosis and treatment strategies for this aggressive condition.*

Liposarcomas (LPSs) are rare malignant tumors of adipocytic origin, primarily occurring in the extremities and retroperitoneum, with thoracic involvement being exceptionally rare. This case report details the surgical management and outcomes of a recurrent intrathoracic LPS in a 65-year-old male with a history of previous mediastinal tumor resection. CT imaging revealed a recurrent tumor extending into the left pleura.
