Abstract: This case report highlights the diagnostic challenges in distinguishing between lipoma and well-differentiated liposarcoma due to their overlapping clinical, histological, and imaging features. A 54-year-old male presented with a large, firm mass in the right thigh, raising suspicion of malignancy. Imaging studies suggested a neoplastic etiology, necessitating a biopsy. The final diagnosis was confirmed as lipoma through histopathological examination. This report underscores the importance of comprehensive diagnostic approaches in similar clinical scenarios.
