A case report of liposarcoma occurring in a man with probable hereditary multiple lipomata and metastasizing to bone marrow is presented. The neoplasm was studied by light and electron microscopy. The first evidence for metastatic disease was myelophthisic anemia. This unusual clinical occurrence is discussed briefly in conjunction with other neoplasms causing myelophthisis.
