Abstract
In 1979 we published a report of a patient with primary liposarcoma of the pericardium treated by surgical resection. Since then we have per formed a total of seven resections on the same patient for recurrent l iposarcoma, which have given excellent symptomatic relief, and her lif e was prolonged for 14 years. Repeated resection of recurrent liposarc oma of the mediastinum should always be considered as the appropriate management for these patients.
