A 69-year-old woman with a 10-year medical history of recurrent retroperitoneal dedifferentiated liposarcoma presented with a 3-cm large hemorrhagic and multicystic left-sided retroperitoneal mass. Histopathological examination of the resected specimen showed a heterogeneous, high-grade mesenchymal nonlipogenic tumor with areas of osteoblastic/osteosarcomatous differentiation and aneurysmal bone cyst-like features. Based on the clinical presentation, the morphology, and the supportive immunohistochemical and molecular findings (MDM2 overexpression and amplification of the MDM2 gene, respectively), a diagnosis of a dedifferentiated liposarcoma with heterologous osteosarcomatous differentiation and an aneurysmal bone cyst-like morphology was made. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first description of aneurysmal bone cyst-like morphology in dedifferentiated liposarcoma, further expanding the broad morphological spectrum of dedifferentiated liposarcoma.
