# Myxoid liposarcoma of the leg: a case report

## TL;DR

This paper reports a case of myxoid liposarcoma in the leg, highlighting the challenges in diagnosis and the need for combined imaging and histology.

## Contribution

The paper presents a specific case report emphasizing the diagnostic challenges and management of myxoid liposarcoma in the leg.

## Key findings

- Myxoid liposarcoma is challenging to diagnose using imaging alone due to its CT and MRI characteristics.
- A combination of imaging techniques and histological analysis is necessary for accurate diagnosis and preoperative planning.
- The tumor in this case originated from the intermuscular fascial planes of the anterior leg compartment.

## Abstract

Myxoid liposarcoma is the second most frequent subtype of liposarcoma, affecting predominantly the extremities, as seen in our case report. Diagnosing myxoid liposarcoma using imaging can be challenging due to its characteristics on both CT and MRI; for this reason, a combination of imaging techniques and histological patterns is necessary to accurately assess the tumour and subsequently make a preoperative planning. We present a case of myxoid liposarcoma arising from the intermuscular fascial planes of the anterior compartment of the leg.
