Year: 2026
Type: article
Study design: Case Report
Abstract: Surgical resection is the primary treatment for giant mediastinal liposarcoma. However, aggressive R0 resection involving major nerves can lead to fatal functional loss. Clinicians must balance oncological radicality with functional preservation, as early diagnosis remains the most critical factor for avoiding highly morbid, extensive surgeries.
