Liposarcoma is an uncommon tumour in childhood. Three cases are reported. Two patients remain alive and well without local recurrence or metastasis following the initial treatment, however one patient died as a result of direct tumour extension despite chemotherapy. A review of the literature revealed the following features: the extremity are the most common location, the predominance of myxoid histology and its best prognosis. The treatment is the complete surgical excision, the efficiency of radiotherapy or chemotherapy has not been formally proved.
