}}Liposarcoma is a cancer that arises in fat cells in soft tissue, such as that inside the thigh or in the retroperitoneum.[1] It is a rare type of cancer that bears a resemblance to fat cells when examined under a microscope.[2] It is typically a large, bulky tumor, and tends to have multiple smaller satellites that extend beyond the main confines of the tumor. Liposarcomas, like all sarcomas, are rare.[3]

Signs and symptoms

Patients usually note a deep-seated mass in their soft tissue. Only when the tumor is very large do symptoms of pain or functional disturbances occur. Retroperitoneal tumors may present themselves with signs of weight loss and emaciation and abdominal pain. These tumors may also compress the kidney or ureter, leading to kidney failure.

Diagnosis

The diagnosis is established by histologic examination of the tissue, i.e., biopsy or excision. Lipoblasts are often present; these are cells with an abundant clear multivacuolated cytoplasm and an eccentric darkly staining nucleus that is indented by the vacuoles.

Medical imaging

Ultrasonography is may not be able to distinguish a liposarcoma from a benign lipoma, and therefore, MRI is the initial imaging of choice.[4]

Subtypes

Several subtypes of liposarcoma exist:

  • Well-differentiated liposarcoma, synonymous with atypical lipomatous tumor—the former term is used almost exclusively for lesions in the retroperitoneum, while the latter is used for lesions arising elsewhere
  • Dedifferentiated liposarcoma—well-differentiated (high-grade) liposarcoma adjacent to a more poorly differentiated tumor
  • Myxoid/round cell liposarcoma
  • Pleomorphic liposarcoma

Treatment

Treatment of liposarcoma most often consists of surgical removal of the tumor and margin, occasionally radiation, and possibly chemotherapy, as well.[6]

Prognosis

The prognosis varies depending on the site of origin, the type of cancer cell, tumor size, depth, and proximity to lymph nodes. Well-differentiated liposarcomas treated with surgery, intraoperative distilled water lavage[7] and radiation have a low recurrence rate (about 10%) and rarely metastasize.[8]

Five-year survival rates vary from 56 to 100% based on histological subtype.[8]

Epidemiology

Most frequent in middle-aged and older adults (age 40 and above), liposarcomas are the second-most common of all soft-tissue sarcomas, following malignant fibrous histiocytomas. Annually, 2.5 cases occur per million population.

Society and culture

Notable cases

  • Chad Brown (1961{{ndash}}2014), a poker player
  • Richard Feynman (1918–1988), a theoretical physicist, died following surgery to address the disease.
  • Rob Ford (1969{{ndash}}2016), former mayor of Toronto, died of pleomorphic liposarcoma.
  • Hokie Gajan (1959{{ndash}}2016), former running back for the New Orleans Saints and radio color commentator for the team
  • Charlie Davies, former soccer player for the Philadelphia Union of Major League Soccer
  • Mark Strand (1934-2014), former US Poet Laureate and Pulitzer Prize-winner
