Primary myxoid liposarcoma of the pelvis: An unusual location

Abstract

Myxoid liposarcoma is the second most common type of liposarcoma, normally located in deep tissues of the lower extremities and rarely in the mesenchyma of abdomen and pelvis We present a patient who, incidentally, showed a large pelvis mass. CT and MR revealed a loculated lesión with hypodense areas and very high signal in T2 respectively as well as heterogeneous contrast enhancement. The imaging findings of pelvic myxoid liposarcoma are nonspecific, but nevertheless a painless mesenchymal mass should be considered when we see lesions of myxoid aspect in the pelvic area without a clear relationship with defined anatomic structures.
