Description

A case of liposarcoma arising in bone with rare foci osteosarcoma is reported. In this case, the tumor metastasized to the lungs as osteosarcoma. This is the third documented case and the fourth known case in the literature. Its rarity is somewhat surprising considering the innumerable possibilities of differentiation of the mesenchyme elements present in the bone marrow. (orig.)
