Abstract
The development of different entities of soft tissue sarcoma in one patient is rare. It usually affects head and neck or abdominal region, whereas those affecting the extremities are much rarer. We describe a patient with double primary presentation of liposarcoma and Ewing's sarcoma in extremity. This case implies that sarcoma patients are at increased risk of a second malignancy, and this implies a need to search for occult tumors during follow up.
