Abstract

This study examines a unique case of a 61-year-old male with a 5-year history of a progressively growing mass above his right shoulder, diagnosed as a dedifferentiated pleomorphic liposarcoma. Using computerized tomography-guided core needle biopsy, the tumour was identified as intermediate to high grade. Surgical removal required preoperative radiotherapy to reduce the size of the tumour. Several unique characteristics set apart this particular case of liposarcoma: its substantial size, its unpredictable growth pattern, its absence of metastasis, and notably, its prolonged period of being untreated. This case report outlines the clinical background, diagnostic procedures, and treatment modalities employed in managing this condition, emphasizing a localized dual therapy approach combining radiotherapy and surgery. Emphasis is placed on distinguishing liposarcoma from lipoblastoma, a benign adipocyte tumour, to facilitate accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment selection. The positive result achieved in this case could provide valuable insights for the future treatment and management of similarly sized aggressive tumours.

被忽视的肩部脂肪肉瘤术前放疗成功:回顾性病例报告
本研究探讨了一例独特的病例:一名 61 岁男性的右肩上方肿块逐渐增大,病史长达 5 年,诊断为脱分化多形性脂肪肉瘤。通过计算机断层扫描引导下的核心针活检,该肿瘤被确定为中高级肿瘤。手术切除需要术前放疗来缩小肿瘤。该脂肪肉瘤病例有几个独特之处:体积巨大、生长模式难以预测、没有转移,尤其是长期未接受治疗。本病例报告概述了该病的临床背景、诊断程序和治疗方法,强调了结合放疗和手术的局部双重治疗方法。报告强调了脂肪肉瘤与脂肪母细胞瘤(一种良性脂肪细胞肿瘤)的鉴别,以便于准确诊断和选择适当的治疗方法。本病例取得的积极疗效可为今后治疗和管理类似大小的侵袭性肿瘤提供有价值的启示。
