Giant pedunculated oesophageal liposarcomas: A review of literature and resection techniques

ConclusionGiant oesophageal liposarcomas are very rare tumours. Such tumours are usually polypoid, arising from a pedicle. As such, resection techniques have shifted away from oesophagectomy to less invasive means such as endoscopic resection or oesophagostomy. Decision on type of resection technique depends on tumour characteristics and location; with the guiding principle being resection with clear margins in order to prevent local recurrence.
