Disease Specific

11546 Background: Surveillance imaging of patients with retroperitoneal liposarcoma (RP-LPS) following surgical resection is based on a projected risk of locoregional and distant recurrence. The duration of surveillance is not well defined as the long-term natural history of RP-LPS after treatment is poorly understood. We evaluate a cohort of RP-LPS patients—without evidence of disease 10 years following initial resection—to assess the long-term risk of recurrence and disease-specific survival (DSS). Methods: The prospectively maintained UCLA Sarcoma Database was used to identify RP-LPS patients who demonstrated 10-year progression-free survival (10yr-PFS) after initial diagnosis and treatment. Patients in the 10yr-PFS cohort were subsequently evaluated for recurrence and DSS. Time intervals start at date of initial surgical resection. Cox proportional hazards models were used to determine factors associated with recurrence and DSS. Results: From 1972-2010, 76 patients with RP-LPS had at least 10 years of follow-up. Of these, 37 (49%) demonstrated 10yr-PFS. Median follow-up was 15 years (range 10-35 years). Among the 10yr-PFS patients, 43% (16/37) developed a recurrence >10 years after the initial surgery, and 19% (7/37) died of disease. Neither long-term recurrence nor DSS were significantly associated with age, sex, tumor size, LPS subtype, surgical margin, or peri-operative treatment with radiation or chemotherapy (Table). Conclusions: Patients with primary RP-LPS treated with surgical resection +/- multimodality therapy have a long-term risk of recurrence and disease-specific death that is unacknowledged by current surveillance imaging guidelines. Among the patients with a 10yr-PFS, 43% developed a recurrence and 19% died of disease. These findings suggest a need for lifelong surveillance imaging in patients with RP-LPS.[Table: see text]

Arch Of The Aorta

Aortic mural thrombus (AMT) is an uncommon cause of arterial thromboembolism. It is very rare in patients without significant cardiovascular risk factors. Many aetiologies can cause AMT, but there are no clear guidelines for the evaluation and treatment. We present the case of a 43-year-old woman without arteriosclerotic disease who was admitted to the hospital with peripheral embolisation from the mural thrombus in the distal arch of the aorta. Therapy with systemic anticoagulation resulted in complete resolution without necessitating any surgical or endovascular interventions. There were no reported recurrence or complications of the intra-aortic thrombus within 1-year surveillance imaging study.

History Of

A 71-year-old woman with a history of left lower lobe lobectomy 4 years ago for adenocarcinoma of the lung presented with new mediastinal and bilateral hilar lymphadenopathy on surveillance imaging, suspicious for disease recurrence. She underwent an endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration of the lymph nodes and histology yielded non-necrotizing epithelioid granulomas with no evidence of malignancy. A diagnosis of sarcoid-like reaction associated with lung adenocarcinoma was made. The significance of this rare condition is discussed.
