Abstract Background Extremity liposarcomas can metastasize to different areas of the body but have rarely been demonstrated to metastasize to the liver. Due to the unusual occurrence of isolated metastatic extremity liposarcoma to the liver the optimal treatment of this condition is unknown.

The lesion was surgically removed with a right hepatic lobectomy and the pathology was consistent with metastatic myxoid round .
