Liposarcoma is rare in children and rarely occurs in the posterior mediastinum in any age group. A massive intrathoracic tumor in a 17-year-old young man was a diagnostic dilemma; preoperative radiographic evaluation and biopsy led us to believe it was a teratoma. At operation, a poorly differentiated myxoid liposarcoma originating from the posterior mediastinum was found and excised. To our knowledge, this is the first liposarcoma of the posterior mediastinum reported in a patient less than 18 years old.
脂肪肉瘤在儿童中罕见，在任何年龄组中都很少发生于后纵隔。一名17岁青年男性的巨大胸内肿瘤诊断困难；术前影像学评估和活检使我们认为它是畸胎瘤。手术时，发现并切除了一个起源于后纵隔的低分化黏液样脂肪肉瘤。据我们所知，这是首例报道的年龄小于18岁患者的后纵隔脂肪肉瘤。
