Adnexal masses during pregnancy are common, but liposarcoma is rare. This case highlights the aggressive nature of pregnancy-associated liposarcoma, emphasizing the need for vigilance.

Area of Science:

  • Gynecologic Oncology
  • Reproductive Medicine
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Adnexal masses are frequently encountered during pregnancy.
  • Malignant transformation of adnexal masses in pregnancy is rare.
  • Only seven cases of liposarcoma associated with pregnancy have been previously reported.

Observation:

  • A pregnant patient presented with an adnexal mass identified via ultrasound at 13 weeks gestation.
  • The mass was surgically excised postpartum.
  • Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of liposarcoma.

Findings:

  • Liposarcoma in pregnancy is an uncommon diagnosis.
  • The patient received postoperative chemotherapy.
  • Despite treatment, the patient succumbed to the disease, indicating an aggressive clinical course.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the potential for aggressive behavior in pregnancy-associated liposarcomas.
  • Early detection and prompt management are crucial for improving outcomes.
  • Further research is warranted to understand the specific characteristics and optimal treatment strategies for this rare condition.
