Popis: We reported a case with a large forearm myxoid liposarcoma which could be treated with marginal resection after preoperative chemotherapy.A 78-year-old man developed a painless tumor in his right forearm. Pathological diagnosis of the needle biopsy indicated possible myxoid liposarcoma. We performed neo-adjuvant chemotherapy, including ADM and CDDP (i. a) whigh reduced the size of the tumor. We then performed marginal resection of the tumor maintaining the neurovascular structures. Local recurrence of the tumor was not seen for five years, though abdominal metastasis was found.
