A rare case of liposarcoma of the left cheek in a 51-year-old woman is reported. The first biopsy specimen was indicative of lipoma. After one year, the patient consulted us again, because of rapid increase in size of the tumor, and then, since malignancy was suspected, another biopsy was performed and a diagnosis of a well-differentiated liposarcoma was made. The tumor was excised, and radiation and chemotherapy were given in the operative course. After one year, no evidence of recurrence or metastasis was observed.
