Liposarcoma is a malignant tumor of mesenchymal origin, it is the second most frequent histological type of soft tissue sarcomas after fibrous malignant Histiocytoma. A 45-year- old female patient presented with huge intra-abdominal mass, extending into the upper pelvis and right thigh and involving all the posterior thigh muscle. CT scan of both regions "thigh and abdomen" showed a mass extending from diaphragm to the upper pelvis. Needle core biopsies from both masses, abdominal and thigh, showed neoplastic proliferation of small cells. Although Myxoid liposarcoma is a relatively rare malignancy, its diagnosis should be suspected in the presence of lesion of soft tissues and a histological and imaging investigation should be done without delay to confirm the diagnosis.
