Abstract:
A possible relation between joint replacement and malignancy has previously been suggested in a few cases. In the majority of these cases, the authors found either malignant fibrous histiocytomas or osteosarcomas. We hereby report the first case of a liposarcoma in the vicinity of a joint prosthesis.
