Abstract Background Myxoid liposarcoma is the second most commonly occurring sub-type of liposarcomas. In contrast to other soft tissue sarcomas it is known to have a tendency to spread toward extrapulmonary sites such as soft tissues retroperitoneum and the peritoneal surface. Bony spread however is not as common. Case presentation We report an unusual case of diffuse skeletal metastases from myxoid liposarcoma occurring l3 years after treatment of the primary tumour in the left lower limb. The skeletal spread of the disease was demonstrated on MRI only after other imaging modalities plain radiography CT and TC99 bone scans had failed to detect these .
