Abstract
- Liposarcoma is one of the most common type of sarcoma that found mainly in connective tissue which has large spaces: such as low extremity, retroperitoneal space and shoulder, and there are four pathologic subtypes: well-differentiated, myxoid, round cell, and pleomorphic type but perineal origin is extremely rare. We are representing this paper on experiencing one case of perineal liposarcoma, myxoid type. The case was a 36 year old male with a hard and fixed mass grown to 10cmx7cm on his perineum. As a result of CT scan, lymphatic metastasis was not detected. So, the mass was excised. In microscopic finding, various degree of differentiated lipoblast and plexiform networks of capillaries were scattered and large amount of mucoid material were noticed. It was diagnosed as liposarcoma, myxoid type. The patient shows no recurrence till now that it has been 4 years.
