IntroductionMultifocal soft tissue sarcoma is a rare clinical entity occurring in 1 % of patients with extremity soft tissue sarcoma and in 4.5 % of patients with liposarcoma. Multifocal disease may arise either synchronously or metachronously and has been associated with poor prognosis.Case presentationHerein, we report a rare case of a Syrian woman patient with six different foci of liposarcoma in five sites at the time of diagnosis.DiscussionLiposarcomas are currently classified into four different subtypes based on histologic or genetic analysis according to the World Health Organization (WHO), including cell-differentiated, dedifferentiated, myxoid, and pleomorphic. In the present work, we report a neglected patient with a multicentric round cell liposarcoma in five different sites.ConclusionMedicine cannot provide much care for these advanced cases of multicentric liposarcoma so far. Therefore, more research should be conducted to improve the ability to manage these entities and to identify potential novel therapies.
