Although myxoid liposarcomas (MLS) are the most common type of soft-tissue sarcomas in adults, their primary location in the superficial tissues is rare. So sarcomas are classified as superficial and deep-seated. They are distinct based on their location and their frequency as well as their prognosis which is relatively better in superficial sarcomas. We here report the case of a patient with subcutaneous liposarcoma in the right thigh. The diagnosis was confirmed by histology after clinical symptoms had evolved over 1 year. Treatment involved wide surgical resection followed by locoregional radiation therapy. Patient's evolution was marked by complete remission maintained after 32 months follow-up. This study highlights that superficial sarcomas are rare and this can cause a delay in diagnosis compromising their prognosis.
尽管黏液样脂肪肉瘤（MLS）是成人中最常见的软组织肉瘤类型，但其主要位于浅表组织的情况较为罕见。肉瘤可分为浅表型和深部型。它们在位置、发生频率以及预后方面有所不同，浅表型肉瘤的预后相对较好。我们在此报告一例右大腿皮下脂肪肉瘤患者的病例。临床症状出现超过1年后，经组织学检查确诊。治疗包括广泛手术切除，随后进行局部区域放射治疗。患者在32个月的随访后维持完全缓解，病情进展良好。本研究强调浅表型肉瘤较为罕见，这可能导致诊断延迟，从而影响其预后。
