We report on a first case of bone marrow metastasis by dedifferentiated liposarcoma. A 39-year-old male diagnosed with retroperitoneal
dedifferentiated liposarcoma underwent surgery and postoperative radiotherapy. In spite of radiotherapy, his whole-body
positron emission tomography showed high uptake in multiple bone metastasis. With thrombocytopenia, bone scan suggested
bone marrow involvement. After bone marrow biopsy, bone marrow metastasis by dedifferentiated liposarcoma was finally confirmed.
He was administered with systemic chemotherapy with doxorubicin. But he died 3 months after chemotherapy due to disease
progression. This case revealed that in a patient of unexplained cytopenia with dedifferentiated liposarcoma, bone marrow
metastasis should be in consideration.
