# A case of high-grade differentiated liposarcoma in the oesophagus

## TL;DR

This paper reports a rare case of high-grade liposarcoma in the oesophagus to improve awareness and reduce misdiagnosis.

## Contribution

The novelty lies in presenting a rare case of high-grade, well-differentiated liposarcoma in the oesophagus.

## Key findings

- Liposarcoma is often misdiagnosed due to nonspecific symptoms and lack of standardized treatment.
- The case highlights the importance of recognizing imaging features to avoid missed diagnoses.

## Abstract

Liposarcoma is a rare malignancy that is typically amenable to surgical resection if there are no distant metastases.1 However, it has a high degree of misdiagnosis. The primary differential diagnoses are sarcoma, gastrointestinal stromal tumour (GIST), and fibrovascular polyp.2 The diagnosis and management of liposarcoma remain challenging due to its lack of specific clinical symptoms and the absence of standardized and effective treatment protocols. Here, we present a case of high-grade, well-differentiated liposarcoma of the oesophagus. It is hoped that this report will increase awareness of the imaging features of this rare neoplasm among radiologists and clinicians, thereby reducing the likelihood of missed diagnoses.
