Primary liposarcoma of bone. Case report and review of the literature.

Although liposarcoma is a common tumor of the soft tissues of the body, it rarely occurs as a primary neoplasm of bone. An extensive review of the literature from 1930-1980 uncovered fewer than 35 cases. The authors discuss the diagnosis and treatment of a case of primary liposarcoma of bone in the right femur of a 34-year-old Bedouin man.
