liposarcoma/fever

We report the case of a 79-year old woman with a retroperitoneal liposarcoma. The condition was discovered because of the association, in a woman of that age, of anaemia and persistent fever. The diagnosis was suggested by computed tomography. Treatment was exclusively surgical. Liposarcomas usually

BACKGROUND Palpation of soft tissues constitutes part of the physical examination when faced with a patient with fever of unknown origin. Our case highlights the difficulty of diagnosis when the tumor still remains impalpable ten months after onset of fever and severe biological inflammatory

BACKGROUND Although there is convincing data in support of the effectiveness of hyperthermia in tumor therapy, the molecular mechanisms underlying the clinical effects of hyperthermia are still poorly understood. OBJECTIVE To investigate natural killer (NK) cell cytotoxicity against heat-treated

The present study describes a rare case of a mesenteric liposarcoma that resulted in a complete remission (CR) following treatment with trabectedin (Yondelis®). The patient presented with abdominal pain and fever. An abdominal mass was identified that corresponded to a mixed-type high-grade

A 34-year-old man presented with scrotal pain and slight fever. The scrotal pain was improved by the treatment of antibiotics, but the slight fever remained and an abdominal protuberance appeared. Computed tomography showed a 22 cm abdominal tumor with lipid density. He was then referred to our

Primary liver liposarcoma is a rare disease. Because of its rarity, the knowledge of the clinical course, management, and prognosis of primary liver liposarcoma are all limited for clinicians. A 61-year-old female patient who suffered from a huge primary liposarcoma in the central portion of the

A 57-year-old female with a large retroperitoneal tumor was atutopsied. She showed through the entire course of illness marked leukocytosis with the appearance of immature marrow cells, and this finding was hematologically interpreted as granulocytic leukemoid reaction. An intermittent pyrexia was

BACKGROUND Thymolipomas are the most outstanding mesenchymal mediastinal tumors although they represent only a small percentage of thymic neoplasms. Their histogenesis remains unsolved, and they are usually benign. Fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) has become the method of choice for the study of

Liposarcomas are rare malignant tumors showing adipocytic differentiation. We report a well-differentiated liposarcoma in a 6-y-old, male neutered cat with a prominent inflammatory component and metastatic spread to the lungs. The patient was initially presented because of fever, lethargy, and a

A 53-year-old woman was admitted to the Department of Internal Medicine at our hospital with the primary complaint of pyrexia. Abdominal echography and computed tomography (CT) detected a right renal tumor, and the patient was transferred to our department. Angiography revealed a hypovascular tumor.

Retroperitoneal liposarcoma is usually asymptomatic until it is large enough to compress the surrounding organs. Here, we report a rare atypical case of primary retroperitoneal dedifferentiated liposarcoma who presented primarily with the misguiding and challenging paraneoplastic symptoms of

A 75-year-old man presented with a fever. Computed tomography revealed a 10 cm solid tumor under the duodenum. A pre-operative diagnosis of liposarcoma was established using biopsy. Pancreaticoduodenectomy was performed, and the pathological examination led to the diagnosis of dedifferentiation type
