PRIMARY PERICARDIAL LIPOSARCOMA IN A YOUNG LADY

After detailed discussion at tumor board for treatment plan, decision was made to refer patient to a high-volume center for resection and evaluation for chemotherapy. In our case initial biopsy only revealed fibrous tissue. [...]to make an appropriate histo pathological diagnosis adequate samples, optimum preparation and careful observation are essential3. Traditionally liposarcomas are treated with radical surgery due to being resistant to chemotherapy and radiation treatments; only doxorubicin has shown some benefit in past4. Since 90% of these tumors have CDK4 amplification, in the recent years Palbociclib (CDK4/CDK6 inhibitor) has shown benefit in progression of free survival in liposarcoma patients5.
