Abstract

A preoperative diagnosis of dedifferentiated liposarcomas (DDLPS) on fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is rare with scarce indexed literature. Herein, we describe a case of DDLPS diagnosed on fine needle aspiration which was presumed to be a lymphoma clinically and radiologically.

Keywords: cytology; dedifferentitated liposarcoma; ihc; liposarcoma; lymphoma; morphology.
