Overview
History and Symptoms
- The symptoms of liposarcoma will depend on the location of the tumor.
- Liposarcomas located in the soft skin tissue would be noted as a mass, and the primary complain would be a slow growing painless mass for several months.
- The most common location of superficial liposarcomas are the lower extremities, specially the tight and popliteal region.
- Most patients with retroperitoneal liposarcomas remain asymptomatic until the tumor reaches a considerable size (10-20 cm).
- Symptoms in a retroperitoneal liposarcomas include weight loss, abdominal pain.[1]
- Tumor may compress adjacent organs and vascular structures.[2]
- The kidneys or ureters may be affected and this can cause oliguria and kidney failure.
- Esopagheal liposarcomas may cause dysphagia as the only symptom, but they are extremely rare.[3]
