title: Fine needle aspiration cytology of well-differentiated liposarcoma. A report of two cases.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Well-differentiated liposarcoma is difficult to diagnose on fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) smears and may create considerable diagnostic problems.
  
  
  METHODS
  Males aged 60 and 45 years presented with a swelling in the groin and retroperitoneal region, respectively. FNAC showed large cells with multilobulated nuclei and mature-looking fat tissue. A soft tissue tumor with bizarre cells was diagnosed cytologically in case 1 and liposarcoma in case 2. Histologically, both cases were diagnosed as well-differentiated sclerosing liposarcoma.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The cytologic diagnosis of well-differentiated liposarcoma should be done with caution, and the sites should be taken into consideration. Deep-seated tumors with large, bizarre, giant cells should have wide excision as they recur more frequently.
