Image Description
Introduction: Myxoid liposarcoma (LPS) is the 2nd most common type of LPS and accounts for 30-50% of all LPS. It has a predilection for lower extremities. This entity includes:
- low-grade, highly differentiated myxoid tumor with uniform spindle/stellate cells, lipoblasts, plexiform capillary network and a relatively good prognosis; the prototypic myxoid liposarcoma (left panel)
- hypercellular, high-grade tumor with little to no lipoblastic differentiation and worse prognosis; previously referred to as round cell liposarcoma (right panel)
