Abstract

Primary liver liposarcoma is an extremely rare disease, only thirteeen cases have been previously reported. We present the clinical case of primary liver liposarcoma and the first use of hepatospecific contrast media - (gadoxetic acid) for its diagnosis. A 69-year-old male patient came with complaints of abdomenal pain and fever. MR images showed a lobulated mass in both liver lobes, with high signal intencity on T2WI and local regions of signal loss on fat-saturated images (FatSat). The tumor restricted diffusion on DWI and ADC-maps and showed homogenous enhancement of the nodules and thick septa on dynamic phase images with slow wash-out on hepatobiliary phase images. The resected material appeared as red-yellow, soft - elastic disintegrating tumor with foci of necrosis. Histologycal and immunohistochemical analysis showed a dedifferentiated liposarcoma.
