Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Background: Mesenteric liposarcoma is a rare intra-abdominal sarcoma with very few cases reported in the available English literature. Incomplete resection of the tumor leads to recurrence, and recurrent tumors carry a risk of dedifferentiation. Dedifferentiation in liposarcoma manifests as a nonlipogenic sarcoma, which is usually high-grade and may show osteosarcomatous differentiation rarely. To the best of our knowledge, osteoid metaplasia in a well-differentiated liposarcoma without evidence of dedifferentiation has not been documented in the available literature. Case: We describe the case of a middle-aged adult man with a well-differentiated liposarcoma of the mesentery. The patient presented with a recurrent tumor 5 years after the initial surgery. At recurrence, the histological features were those of a well-differentiated liposarcoma with focal osseous metaplasia without any evidence of dedifferentiation in the extensive sections examined. Conclusion: Osseous metaplasia is a rare phenomenon in lipomas and dedifferentiated liposarcomas. Such an occurrence in a recurrent well-differentiated liposarcoma is a perplexing problem due to the potential confusion with dedifferentiation. This needs to be recognized to avoid overzealous chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy, which is required for dedifferentiated tumors. © 2009 Springer Science+Business Media, LLC.
