Abstract

Liposarcoma is a soft tissue tumor that commonly appears in the retroperitoneum and the extremities. Herein, we presented the imaging findings of a 68-year-old man with a paravertebral liposarcoma involving the adjacent vertebral bodies, appendices, and ribs. MRI revealed this mass located in the left side of T9 to T10 vertebral bodies. FDG PET/CT demonstrated the mass with intense FDG uptake. Finally, the pathological findings were consistent with a diagnosis of a primary paravertebral liposarcoma.
