Abstract
Liposarcoma is a rare sarcoma subtype with an incidence of one case per 2.5 million population. This tumor typically presents as an asymptomatic soft tissue mass, commonly arise in the extremities and in the retroperitoneum. 48 year old female patient admitted to our outpatient clinic with a palpable mass on her right forearm. The mass was diagnosed as lipoma on the MRI scan. During surgery, it was seen that ulnar nerve was surrounded by the mass. Meticulous resection was performed. The histopathological evaluation confirmed the mass as liposarcoma. Since it is hard to distinguish lipoma from liposarcoma only by physical examination, MRI scan is commonly applied in clinical use. In our case MRI scan revealed the mass as lipoma where as the histopathological diagnosis was liposarcoma. The reason for our surgery was ulnar nerve entrapment symptoms.
