A case of liposarcoma was reported in 52 year-old female. She had the operation history due to mediastinal lipoma at other Hospital before 26 months ago. Chest X-ray revealed a huge soft tissue mass- density at the entire right lung field, and left middle and lower lung field at admission. At the lateral film, the mass was located in the anterior and middle mediastinum. Transsternal bilateral thoracotomy was performed, followed by extirpation of liposarcoma, wedge resection of superior vena cava, angioplasty of superior vena cava, and then partial pericardiectomy. The post-operative treatment was 5500 rad irradiation. Post-operative course was uneventful, that was noticed by OPD follow-up for 10 months. Primary liposarcoma of the mediastinum is very rare tumor. This tumor grows to an enormous size, and symptoms are referable to compression of the contiguous intrathoracic structures. The treatment of choice is surgery in all cases. Such an approach serves to establish a tissue diagnosis, to relieve the patients* symptoms, and may results in a cure sometimes. Radiotherapy or/and chemotherapy seems to be ineffective, but should be further studied.
