Abstract
Introduction: Liposarcomas in the mediastinum are very rare, with a reported incidence of less than 1% of all mediastinal tumors. Pleomorphic liposarcoma is the least frequent but most malignant histological subtype of liposarcoma, which has classical imaging features described in literature.
Case Report: We report a rare case of mediastinal pleomorphic liposarcoma in an adult patient, presenting with atypical imaging features.
Conclusion: The pathological and imaging features of various subtypes of liposarcoma are reviewed.

Keywords: Liposarcoma, Mediastinal tumors, Pleomorphic
