A Rare Case of Dedifferentiated Liposarcoma With C Hondrosarcomatous Dedifferentiation

Abstract

We report a rare case of dedifferentiated liposarcoma with chondrosarcomatous components. A 39 years old male presenting with a left buttock swelling underwent a wide tumor excision. The histopathological diagnosis was dedifferentiated liposarcoma (DDLS) with chondrosarcomatous dedifferentiation. Histologically, DDLS is represented by the abrupt transition from well differentiated liposarcoma to a region of non-lipogenic sarcoma. Dedifferentiation frequently resembles a malignant fibrous histiocytoma-like pleomorphic sarcoma. Divergent differentiation with chondrosarcomatous components is very rare. We present here a case of gluteal dedifferentiated liposarcoma with chondrosarcomatous dedifferentiation because of its extreme rarity.

Value relevance of managed earnings in Indian firms: An impact analysis of IFRS convergence using dynamic panel models

“…India has unfortunately witnessed manipulation of earnings in big companies such as Satyam and Kingfisher Airlines. A significant amount of research has been undertaken in India to understand earnings management in the context of multi-nationality of firms, auditor's perceptions, financial distress, Initial Public Offers (IPO) and mangers' fixation on operating profits (Gakhar, 2014;Agrawal & Chatterjee, 2015;Nagar & Sen, 2016;Shette et al, 2016;Ghalke et al, 2018;Goel, 2018). To expand this literature by including an understanding of the impact of EM practices on a firm's stock prices, the present study tests the value relevance of earnings and book values of Indian listed firms in the presence of earnings management practices.…”
