Overview
Pathogenesis
According to their class, each liposarcoma will have specific characteristics and pathogenesis:
Well Differentiated Liposarcoma
This type of liposarcoma occurs both at the limbs and retroperitoneum in equal frequency, and occasionally at the mediastinum and spermatic cord, representing about 45% of liposarcomas.[1]
According to the WHO classification described previously, well differentiated liposarcomas may be sub-classified into 3 types: sclerosing; adipocytic; and inflammatory.
Sclerosing Liposarcoma
Occurs most frequently at the retroperitoneum and paratesticular regions. The particular histological finding in this type of well differentiated liposarcoma is the identification of distinctive stromal cells distributed across the tissue, and associated with lipoblasts filled with multiple vacuoles. This association forms a collagenous background of fibrillary appearance. In certain cases the fibrous component of the neoplasm may occupy most of its mass.[1]
Adipocytic Liposarcoma
Frequently composed by adipocytes with different cell sizes, hyperchromasia and nuclear atypia. Fibrous septa may be identified among adipocytes, containing hyperchromatic stromal cells. Besides these two types of cells, mono or multivacuolated lipoblasts may also be identified. These last are characterized by the presence of single (mono) or multiple (multi) peripheral cytoplasmic vacuoles that press on the hyperchromatic nucleus.[1]
In general, adipocytic neoplasms are often identified by the presence of these lipoblasts, however, its presence is not synonym, since multiple benign lesions may contain lipoblasts; nor are they identified in every liposarcoma, as its absence does not prevent the diagnosis of the condition, if remaining criteria are met.[1]
Inflammatory Liposarcoma
Its adipocitic nature may be misidentified due to the heavy chronic inflammatory infiltrate.[1][2][3]
Dedifferentiated Liposarcoma
Myxoid Liposarcoma
Round Cell Liposarcoma
Pleomorphic Liposarcoma
