Los liposarcomas son tumores malignos de origen mesenquimal cuya localización primaria en el mediastino es infrecuente. Se presentan 2 casos de liposarcoma mediastínico, describiéndose sus características clínicas, radiológicas así como los procedimientos diagnósticos realizados. Se resalta la importancia de la variedad histológica como factor condicionante del tratamiento y pronóstico

Liposarcomas are malignant mesenchymal tumors whose primary location in the mediastinum is rare. We report two cases of mediastinal liposarcoma, describing the clinical signs and radiologic features found and the diagnostic procedures performed. The significance of histologic variability as a factor that conditions treatment and prognosis is underlined.
