It is well understood that liposarcoma is most common in soft tissue sarcomas. It usually develop proximally in the extremities and most patients are older than 50 years. We report a case of huge liposarcoma which develop on left thigh of 67-year-old man. There was no evidence of metastasis and the tumor was successfully removed by marginal resection. Patient’s height is 153 cm and weight is 43 kg, but the tumor’s size is 34×20×9 cm and weight is 2.82 kg. The Mass is severely huge in compare with patient’s height and weight. But, There are few reports regarding the correlation between tumor-size and pathologic differentiation. Pathological examination reveals a well differentiated liposarcoma. The patient is still asymptomatic at 6-months follow up.
