# Unmasking the Masquerade: Fine-Needle Aspiration Diagnosis of Dedifferentiated Liposarcoma Clinically Mimicking Lymphoma

## TL;DR

This paper presents a rare case where a type of fat cancer was correctly diagnosed before surgery using a needle biopsy, despite initially being mistaken for a lymphoma.

## Contribution

The paper adds a rare clinical case to the literature on preoperative diagnosis of dedifferentiated liposarcoma via fine-needle aspiration.

## Key findings

- DDLPS was accurately diagnosed preoperatively using fine-needle aspiration.
- The tumor was initially misdiagnosed as lymphoma based on clinical and radiological features.

## Abstract

A preoperative diagnosis of dedifferentiated liposarcomas (DDLPS) on fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is rare with scarce indexed literature. Herein, we describe a case of DDLPS diagnosed on fine needle aspiration which was presumed to be a lymphoma clinically and radiologically.
