Abstract

Primary sarcoms of the liver are rare. Most often angiosarcomas have been reported. Primary liposarcoma of the liver is extremely rare. We report a case of primary liposarcoma of the liver in a 48-year-old woman and compare it with the 13 cases found in the literature. Histologic analysis showed a well differentiated liposarcoma. The treatment of choice is wide local tumor resection.
