Giant atypical lipoma

Abstract: Liposarcomas correspond to the most common histological subtype of soft tissue sarcomas. They can be subdivided into: well differentiated or atypical lipoma, undifferentiated, myxoid, round, and pleomorphic cells. Atypical lipomas are the most prevalent and usually appear as asymptomatic softened tumors. They are locally aggressive but rarely lead to distant metastases. The diagnosis of this tumor is based on the imaging and histopathologic findings. Treatment consists of excision surgery with complete tumor r… Show more

“…RPLs, sarcoma of mesenchymal origin, are the most common STS of the retroperitoneum ( 23 – 25 ). RPLs account for approximately 40% of cases of STS in the retroperitoneum ( 26 , 27 ). Several studies have suggested that the surgical management and histologic subtype of RPLs are associated with prognosis in patients with RPLs ( 28 32 ).…”

“…There is no clear evidence in the literature to support the need for histological biopsy of suspected retroperitoneal tumors because, with or without biopsy, such large tumors require surgical resection, which is the only curative option. Liposarcoma is histologically subdivided into well-differentiated, myxoid/round cell, pleomorphic and dedifferentiated subtypes ( 15 ). The 5-year survival rate of patients with well-differentiated retroperitoneal liposarcoma is ~90%.…”

“…Unique giant cells with overlapping nuclei and edge arrangement could also be found in pleomorphic liposarcoma [20,21]. In immunohistochemistry, MDM2 and CDK4 are positive, which are helpful to distinguish benign lipoma from other lipomas [13,20,22]. CD34, B-cell lymphoma-2 (BCL-2), and CD99 are always strongly positive, while S-100 protein and signal transducer and activator of transcription 6 (STAT6) are usually negative [11,14,23,24].…”
