## Abstract

Liposarcoma is a malignant soft tissue tumor that rarely involves the gastrointestinal tract. The dedifferentiated type typically carries the worst prognosis. Here, we describe a rare case of dedifferentiated liposarcoma of the rectum in a young male patient who was treated with surgical excision. Treatment is often difficult and there is no clear consensus on the benefits of radiotherapy or chemotherapy.
