has been one of the most common malignacy. Calcification and ossification can occur in liposarcoma;
however, the presence of both ossification and calcification, a very rare entity. We present a case of a
extensive calcification of dedifferentiated liposarcoma arising in the pararenal site in a 48 year old male.
Retroperitoneal are more common among the sites. This present case presented as tumour arising the lower
