[Liposarcoma in the lung misinterpreted as an infection of Echinococcus multicularis].

Primary liposarcoma of the lung is an extremely rare disease. Only 14 cases have been reported in the literature in English. Liposarcoma is not sensitive to chemotherapy or radiotherapy. Surgical resection is considered the only therapeutic option. We present a case of a giant liposarcoma occupying two thirds of the right thoracic cavity.
