Overview
Liposarcoma usually presents as a painless mass. The most common location of a liposarcoma is the lower extremities. Patients with retroperitoneal liposarcoma remain asymptomatic until the mass invades adjacent structures, which may cause pain or obstructive symptoms.
History and symptoms
- Symptoms of liposarcoma will depend on the location of the tumor.
- Liposarcomas located in the deep soft tissue of the extremities presents as a painless mass that grows slowly over several months.
- Superficial liposarcomas are commonly located in the lower extremities, especially in the femoral and popliteal regions.
Retroperitoneal liposarcoma
- The majority of patients with retroperitoneal liposarcoma remain asymptomatic until the tumor grows to a considerable size (10-20 cm).
- Common ymptoms of retroperitoneal liposarcoma include weight loss and abdominal pain.[1]
- The tumor may compress adjacent organs and vascular structures to cause pain or obstructive symptoms.[2]
- The kidneys or ureters may also be involved, which may result in urologic symptoms, such as oliguria, or renal failure.
Esophageal liposarcoma
- Esophageal liposarcoma is extremely rare.[3]
- Esophageal liposarcomas may cause dysphagia, vomiting, cough, gastrointestinal bleeding, and hoarseness.[3]
Bowel Liposarcoma
- Symptoms of gastrointestinal bleeding are common manifestations of liposarcoma located in the small bowel and the colon.[4]
Mediastinal Liposarcoma
- Mediastinal liposarcomas are rare
- Symptoms include dyspnea, cough, chest pain, and weight loss.[5]
