摘要
Myxoid liposarcoma is a very uncommon primary neoplasm in the mediastinum, representing 9% of all primary sarcomas in this area. It develops preferentially in the lower extremities (75%) and less frequently in the retroperitoneum. Myxoid liposarcoma usually metastasizes in the lungs and bone, and rarely in the mediastinum. The time interval between the first presentation and the pericardial metastasis ranges from 7 to 25 years. A case of giant metastatic myxoid liposarcoma in the pericardium causing cardiac tamponade is reported.
