Overview
Classification
Liposarcoma is one type of soft tissue sarcomas, which accounts for about 20% of the mesenchymal malignancies. Liposarcomas may be classified into different types, according to their histologic, cytogenetic, biologic and molecular features. The WHO has proposed the following classification of liposarcomas:[1][2]
- Well-diferentiated liposarcoma:
- Adipocytic or lipoma-like
- Inflammatory
- Sclerosing
- Dedifferentiated liposarcoma
- Myxoid liposarcoma
- Round cell liposarcoma
- Pleiomorphic liposarcoma
