Aim: Myxoid liposarcoma (MLS) is a rare malignant soft-tissue neoplasm in which brain metastasis is still considered rare. We present a case of MLS brain metastasis and review of the literature. Case presentation: A 24-year-old male patient presented with headache, decreased level of consciousness and vomiting. He was treated for distal right thigh MLS 2-years ago. Imaging studies of the brain showed a left frontal intracranial mass. The patient underwent surgical resection followed by stereotactic radiosurgery. The histopathological study revealed metastatic myxoid/roundcell liposarcoma infiltrating the bone and peripheral margins. Conclusion: Treatment options for MLS usually includes surgical resection and adjuvant radiotherapy. A case-by-case based multidisciplinary approach is recommended for the management of similar cases. |
