Overview
There are no specific laboratory tests for the diagnosis of liposarcoma. The pertinent laboratory findings of liposarcoma include anemia and elevated BUN due to GI bleeding and elevated creatinine among patients with obstructive nephropathy.
Laboratory findings
- There are no specific laboratory tests for the diagnosis of liposarcoma.
- Patients with ureteral or renal involvement, an elevated creatinine may be observed.
- Anemia and elevated BUN may be present among patients with liposarcoma assoicated with GI bleeding.[1]
- The level of D-dimer has been studied as a marker for the differential diagnosis of lipoma and well-differentiated liposarcoma. Results have demonstrated that liposarcoma may have increased levels of D-dimer compared to lipoma.[2]
