ABSTRACT: Myxoid liposarcoma is the most common form of
myxoid sarcoma. Their primary and
superficial localizations are very rare compared to the deeper forms. We
report the case of myxoid
liposarcoma in a 57-year-old patient. The
clinical picture marked by painless swelling of the right
thigh had evolved over a period of about ten years. The diagnosis
was guided by ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging. A pathological
examination of the surgical specimen after removal of the tumor helped to
clarify the diagnosis. We discuss the clinical presentation and therapeutic
management.
