Abstract

We report a case of liposarcoma in a 17-year-old boy in which both the radiographs and histology demonstrated multiple punctate calcifications. In addition, this unusual variant consisting of myxoid, round cell and well-differentiated liposarcoma behaved aggressively resulting in the death of the patient.
