    Author: Mehdorn AS, Schmidt F, Steinestel K, Wardelmann E, Greulich B, Palmes D, Senninger N.
    Journal: Ann R Coll Surg Engl; 2017 Sep; 99(7):e209-e212. PubMed ID: 28853590.
    Abstract:
    We present a rare case of a big oesophageal liposarcoma causing dysphagia and weight loss in a 75-year-old patient. Endoscopically, a pedunculated lesion with subtotal obstruction of the oesophageal lumen had been detected and thoracoabdominal oesophageal resection with gastric sleeve reconstruction was performed. Surprisingly, a liposarcoma of the oesophagus was revealed on histopathological analysis, showing MDM2 overexpression. Oncological follow-up has been uneventful and the patient remains in good clinical shape at 15 months after surgery.
