Abstract
Liposarcoma is the most common malignant soft tissue tumour in adults occurring predominantly in the retroperitoneum and extremities but very rarely within the gastrointestinal tract. We report on a 77-year-old gentleman who presented with a history of melaena and anaemia. On oesophagogastric duodenoscopy a duodenal polyp was identified. Surgical excision was performed and on histology, the duodenal polyp revealed a primary duodenal well differentiated liposarcoma. A literature review confirmed the rarity of primary duodenal liposarcomas, with only four cases previously reported.
