Abstract: | BACKGROUND: Well-differentiated liposarcoma is difficult to diagnose on fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) smears and may create considerable diagnostic problems. CASES: Males aged 60 and 45 years presented with a swelling in the groin and retroperitoneal region, respectively. FNAC showed large cells with multilobulated nuclei and mature-looking fat tissue. A soft tissue tumor with bizarre cells was diagnosed cytologically in case 1 and liposarcoma in case 2. Histologically, both cases were diagnosed as well-differentiated sclerosing liposarcoma. CONCLUSION: The cytologic diagnosis of well-differentiated liposarcoma should be done with caution, and the sites should be taken into consideration. Deep-seated tumors with large, bizarre, giant cells should have wide excision as they recur more frequently. |
