Abstract

The liposarcoma are not rare in the thigh area. Two patients both men, 56 and 39 years of age were operated within a few months because of giant liposarcoma in the left thigh region. The liposarcoma of these patients was strikingly similar. Upon suspicion of malignancy, resection of the tumor without prior diagnostic biopsy is recommended. The early postoperative period of both patients passed smoothly. The full range of movement was achieved in left hip and knee joints. Operative wounds healed per primam intentionem. Up till now, several months after tumors removal, both patients have no data of local or distant metastases.
