Liposarcoma is a tumour that we have seen with little frequency in our medical practice. In this work done in the Surgical and Clinical Teaching Hospital Joaquin Albarrán, in the City of Havana 2004, we present you a case that we have been treated for over one decade ;it is about a 79 years old patient with a tumour of this variety that has grown again and again, in spite of big resections in more than ten occasions and with radiant treatment .the objective of this presentation is to make our surgeons see that they need to have in mind the possibility of this neoplasm when we are before a possible lipoma ,especially when it is presented by an old patient ,and with pain .For this ,we revised The Clinical History of our patient ,that gave the fundamental data part in it ;That is the clinical manifestation (pricking pain at the level of the scars of the former operation ,where we can see and palpate a little tumour ;hard and fixed to tissues around .The complementary tests and the evolution that the patient has had all this while time adds up to twelve years .We conclude with the characteristics to have in mind about this tumour (with high tendency to relapse, but that has not done metastasis in spite of the time of the evolution).
