    This case report highlights a rare liposarcoma mimicking a Baker's cyst. Early investigation of popliteal fossa masses is crucial, especially in older adults, to detect malignancy.

    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Surgical Pathology

    Background:

    • Liposarcoma is a malignant tumor of adipose tissue.
    • Popliteal fossa masses can present insidiously, mimicking benign conditions like Baker's cyst.

    Observation:

    • A 65-year-old male presented with a cystic mass in the left popliteal fossa, initially resembling a Baker's cyst.
    • The patient delayed treatment for 7 months, during which the mass enlarged, causing pressure symptoms.

    Findings:

    • Biopsy confirmed the mass as liposarcoma.
    • Despite leg amputation, the patient developed pulmonary metastasis and died within 2 years.

    Implications:

    • This case underscores the necessity of thorough differential diagnosis for popliteal masses.
    • Malignancy, specifically liposarcoma, should be considered in older patients presenting with Baker's cyst-like lesions.
