ABSTRACT
Introduction. The liposarcoma is the second wicked tumor in frequency of the soft-tissue. Appears in the two sexes with same frequency and habitually after the 40 years.
Objective. To evaluate the result of the treatment of a case liposarcoma mixoid in hollow poplíteo in an adolescent and their differential diagnosis with tumors of soft parts of the same localization.
Material and methods. I study retrospective, of a 13 year-old masculine patient, with presence of a localization tumor in hollow poplíteo.
Result. After the resection in block, of the liposarcoma mixoid it improved the functionality of the knee, the physical appearance, the pelvic affected member’s neuro-circulatory state and the patient’s psychological state.
Conclusions. The liposarcoma is a not very common tumor in children, although the population’s group, is vulnerable to be affected by this tumor in pelvic members for the subtype mixoid, for what I specify, always the early diagnosis, the confirmation for study histopathologic, independently of its appearance in imaging studies and mainly, if its behavior involves effect of mass.
