Liposarcoma of the ileocecal valve: a case report

D L Wood et al. Mt Sinai J Med. 1989 Jan.

Abstract

Liposarcomas are common soft-tissue neoplasms but are rarely present in the gastrointestinal tract. We report a patient with a primary liposarcoma at the ileocecal valve, a previously unreported location. Wide local excision remains the treatment of choice, but local recurrences are common.
