Myxomatous liposarcoma is an extremely rare type of mediastinal tumour that manifests in a manner comparable to other lung pathologies. Chest pain, shortness of breath, and dysphagia are the common presenting complaints. Radiological examinations or postoperative histological examinations provide the majority of the diagnostic evidence. The cornerstone of therapy consists of surgery and sometimes chemotherapy. Those who are afflicted have a better chance of experiencing favourable outcomes if they receive a diagnosis and treatment quickly.
