We report a rare case of dedifferentiated liposarcoma with chondrosarcomatous components. A 39 years old male presenting with a left buttock swelling underwent a wide tumor excision. The histopathological diagnosis was dedifferentiated liposarcoma (DDLS) with chondrosarcomatous dedifferentiation. Histologically, DDLS is represented by the abrupt transition from well differentiated liposarcoma to a region of non-lipogenic sarcoma. Dedifferentiation frequently resembles a malignant fibrous histiocytoma-like pleomorphic sarcoma. Divergent differentiation with chondrosarcomatous components is very rare. We present here a case of gluteal dedifferentiated liposarcoma with chondrosarcomatous dedifferentiation because of its extreme rarity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
