Abstract 

A possible relation between joint replacement and malignancy has previously been suggested in a few cases. In the majority of these cases, the authors found either malignant fibrous histiocytomas or osteosarcomas. We hereby report the first case of a liposarcoma in the vicinity of a joint prosthesis.

Résumé 

Une possible relation entre une prothèse articulaire et une tumeur maligne a été suggérée dans quelques cas. Dans la majorité d’entre-eux, les tumeurs en cause étaient des histiocytofibromes malins ou des ostéosarcomes. Nous rapportons le premier cas d’un liposarcome développé dans le voisinage d’une prothèse articulaire.
