    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Radiology
    • Gastroenterology

    Background:

    • Liposarcoma, a malignant tumor of fat cells, can rarely occur in the liver capsule.
    • Malignant liver tumors can present with non-specific symptoms, complicating early diagnosis.

    Observation:

    • A case is presented where liposarcoma of the liver capsule mimicked other conditions.
    • The initial presentation involved significant fluid accumulation, namely massive pleural effusion and ascites.

    Findings:

    • Diagnostic imaging, including chest radiography, computed tomographic (CT) scan, and sonography, played a vital role.
    • These modalities helped delineate the extent of the tumor and associated effusions.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of considering rare diagnoses in patients with unexplained effusions.
