Recent findings from A. Achir and co-authors highlight research in liposarcoma
2009 MAY 11 - (NewsRx.com) -- According to recent research from Rabat, Morocco, "Liposarcoma of the lung is an extremely rare disease with less than 10 cases reported to date. A case of a locally advanced, pulmonary mixed liposarcoma in a 49-year-old male is presented here." "Left pneumonectomy with radical lymph node dissection was performed. The postoperative course was uneventful and no recurrence or metastasis was observed for 3 years," wrote A. Achir and colleagues. The researchers concluded: "Although liposarcoma of the lung is classified as an aggressive, highly metastatic disease, complete resection may result in disease-free Survival." Achir and colleagues published their study in Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgeon (Primary Pulmonary Liposarcoma - A Case Report. Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgeon, 2009;57(2):119-120). For additional information, contact A. Achir, Ibn Sina Hospital, Dept. of Thorac Surgery, BP 6762, 10101 Madinat Irfane, Rabat, Morocco.
