CT Scan

• Imaging findings of liposarcoma are frequently characteristic.
• Focal or diffuse areas of fat associated with nonlipomatous components are commonly detected on computed tomographic or magnetic resonance images.
• The appearance and morphologic relationship between these areas frequently allow identification of the specific histologic subtype of liposarcoma.
