ABSTRACT

A Myxoid-LipoSarcoma is the most common type of soft tissue sarcoma, and most liposarcomas are malignant. The extremities are the most common site for liposarcomas. There are 5 histologic types of liposarcoma, as follows: well differentiated; myxoid; round cell; pleomorphic; and dedifferentiated. Myxoid liposarcomas (MLSs) represent a subgroup of liposarcomas. There has been no report of Myxoid -Liposarcomas in the abdominal wall. We report a rare case of a Myxoid-Lypo Sarcomas of a 61-year-old female, who presented with mass protruding out of her right heel. Symptoms where, pain while walking, bleeding form the tumour surface, it was foul smelling. At last, the tumor was successfully excised, from the surface, where it was attached to the skin at heel. Which was diagnosed in pathology Myxoid-Lypo Sarcomas. Following standard principles, after complete excision, the patient received radiotherapy. The patient was followed up for 12 month and the disease recurrence was identified, after 18 months with secondries in lymph nodes. Myxoid-Lypo Sarcomas are rarely seen in the clinic, irrespective of the presenting signs, but also based on histologic features. The aim of this report was to present, of an mass over the right heel, and to remind us of Myxoid-Lypo Sarcomas.
