Abstract
Liposarcoma most commonly occurs in deep soft tissues of the limb and the
retroperitoneum; however, its occurrence in the subcutaneous tissue is rare.
Mixed-type liposarcoma (MTL) is the rarest subtype. We herein describe a
unique case of MTL with three simultaneous dedifferentiations occurring in
subcutaneous tissue of left thigh in a 45-year-old male. We briefl y review the
pertinent literature and report this case because of extreme rarity.
