Overview
Liposarcoma must be differentiated from other diseases that cause a painless, growing mass such as spindle cell lipoma, neurofibroma, dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans, and malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor.
Differential diagnosis
Differential diagnosis includes nonadipocytic lesions such as inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor and Castleman’s disease.[1]
| Disease | Description |
|---|---|
| Spindle cell lipoma | Composed of bland, sometimes palisading, CD34-positive spindle cells, ad- mixed with eosinophilic refractile collagen bundles |
| Neurofibroma | Characterized by a less cellular S-100– positive spindle cell proliferation with wavy nuclei |
| Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans | Cytologically bland, monomorphic CD34-positive spindle cell proliferation organized in a distinctive storiform growth pattern and characterized by tendency to infiltrate the surrounding fat in a peculiar ‘‘honeycomb’’ pattern |
| Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor | Generally highly cellular tumors composed of tapering or wavy spindle cells featuring perivascular accentuation and focal S-100– positive immunoreactivity in approximately 50% of cases[1] |
