| description | A few cases of primary liposarcoma of pleura have been reported worldwide. We report a young gentleman who was admitted with what was initially thought as coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)-related pulmonary symptoms. His chest CT showed a large pleural effusion causing a mediastinal shift and compressing vital structures. He did not respond to conservative drainage intervention and subsequently underwent a left thoracotomy for his worsening clinical picture. He was found to have a large left pleural mass that was incompletely resected. Histopathology examination showed low-grade soft tissue sarcoma with lipogenic differentiation suggestive of myxoid liposarcoma. He was subsequently given adjuvant chemotherapy but succumbed and died because of the progression of the disease. |
