An electron‐microscopic study of a myxoid liposarcoma is presented in which amorphous electron‐dense material and crystalline inclusions in the granular endoplasmic reticulum were observed. These inclusions showed transversal striations and were associated with round electrondense bodies. The previous finding of similar structures in normal cells from vertebrates and plants without relationship to adipose tissue discards the direct association of these inclusions with this particular tumor and suggests a possible functional origin.
