Abstract
Liposarcomas are among the most common soft tissue sarcomas, but are rarely found in the foot or ankle. Certain types of liposarcomas, which range from well-localized low-grade entities to highly aggressive neoplastic lesions, may resemble common benign soft tissue lesions. Myxoid liposarcoma is the most common type of liposarcoma and is important to recognize and differentiate from a benign soft tissue lesion because it may be a limb-threatening and/or life-threatening tumor. A thorough literature review and perplexing case study of myxoid liposarcoma of the ankle is presented.
