We report a case of giant well-differentiated esophageal liposarcoma in a Chinese patient. Liposarcoma is a common soft tissue malignant tumor that usually arises in the lower extremities, trunk, and the retroperitoneum, but it is very rare that liposarcoma locates in the gastrointestinal tract, especially in the esophagus. Endoscopic ultrasound could be an efficient tool for preliminary examination. Moreover, the patient underwent combined thoraco-laparoscopic surgery, after reviewing the published articles, this surgery was first applied in the excision of esophageal liposarcoma due to the detailed preoperative information from the ultrasound technique.
我们报告了一例中国患者的巨大高分化食管脂肪肉瘤病例。脂肪肉瘤是一种常见的软组织恶性肿瘤，通常发生于下肢、躯干和腹膜后，但脂肪肉瘤位于胃肠道，尤其是食管的情况非常罕见。超声内镜可能是一种有效的初步检查工具。此外，该患者接受了胸腹腔镜联合手术，在查阅已发表的文章后发现，由于超声技术提供了详细的术前信息，该手术首次应用于食管脂肪肉瘤的切除。
