its multifocal form.
Soft Tissue Multifocal Liposarcoma is a rare entity in pathology and accounts for only 1 percent of adult
malignancies. Liposarcoma is characterized as multifocal when it appears simultaneously in two or more locations,
before extension to areas where it is more frequently metastasized, such as lung, liver and bone.
