Liposarcoma

A rare malignant tumour found in fatty tissue.


A cancerous tumor that develops from fatty tissue. Liposarcomas are usually found in the thigh or the back of the abdominal cavity and tend to be large and to recur. Some liposarcoma cells may travel to the lungs or to the interior surface of the abdomen. Treatment of liposarcoma varies. Some tumors can be easily removed surgically, while others require more extensive surgery and aggressive chemotherapy, with or without radiation therapy.


A malignant tumor of fat cells. It is most commonly found in the thigh and is rare under the age of 30 years. There are four main histological types: well-differentiated, myxoid, pleomorphic, and round-cell liposarcomas, the first two of which are the most sensitive to treatment.


A rare malignant tumour of adipose or fatty tissue, and occurring most frequently in the thighs, buttocks or retro-peritoneum.


A malignant tumor derived from embryonal fat cells.


An uncommon malignancy originating from fatty tissue, liposarcomas typically emerge in individuals of advanced middle age. These cancers give rise to solid growths, often found in the abdominal region or the thigh. While surgical removal is a common approach for dealing with these tumors, they tend to exhibit a tendency to reappear after removal.
