A giant liposarcoma tumour, weighing 13–5 kilograms, occurring in a Caucasian male aged 60 years is described. The tumour was present for a period of seven years. The patient sought treatment for a bleeding vessel in the skin which had ulcerated. He was able to go about his avocation as a store–man. Histological investigation revealed a Iiposarcoma.
