Soft tissue sarcomas account for less than 1% of new cancer diagnoses, approximately one in five of which are liposarcomas. These tumors typically arise in the deep tissues of the proximal extremity or retroperitoneum, with just under 3% presenting as primary intrathoracic neoplasms. We present an exceedingly rare and particularly unique presentation of primary lung liposarcoma which traversed the mediastinum into the contralateral hemithorax. This report highlights the primary characteristics of the disease and underscores the importance of a multidisciplinary approach to its successful treatment.
软组织肉瘤占新诊断癌症的比例不到1%，其中约五分之一为脂肪肉瘤。这些肿瘤通常发生在近端肢体或腹膜后的深部组织，原发性胸内肿瘤的发生率略低于3%。我们报告了一例极为罕见且特别独特的原发性肺脂肪肉瘤病例，该肿瘤穿过纵隔进入对侧半胸。本报告强调了该疾病的主要特征，并强调了多学科方法对其成功治疗的重要性。
