Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Pediatric Pathology
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Pleomorphic liposarcoma is a rare soft tissue sarcoma.
  • Its occurrence in the pediatric population is exceptionally uncommon.
  • Abdominal presentation in children is virtually undocumented.

Observation:

  • A case of pleomorphic liposarcoma originating from the mesenteric root in an adolescent female is presented.
  • The tumor's rarity in pediatric patients is emphasized, with limited documented instances in the literature.
  • This represents, to our knowledge, the first reported abdominal case in a child.

Findings:

  • Detailed histologic and ultra-structural characteristics of the mesenteric pleomorphic liposarcoma are provided.
  • A comprehensive review of existing literature on pediatric pleomorphic liposarcoma is included.

  • The case contributes novel data on the presentation and morphology of this rare tumor in young patients.

    • Implications:

    • Highlights the need for increased awareness of rare pediatric abdominal tumors.
    • Informs diagnostic criteria and potential treatment strategies for pediatric pleomorphic liposarcoma.
    • Underscores the importance of detailed clinicopathological analysis for rare malignancies.
