INTRODUCTION This study aimed to retrospectively review the magnetic resonance (MR) imaging features of the lipomatous tumour in order to differentiate between lipoma and liposarcoma. METHODS The MR images of 38 patients (24 female and 14 male with a mean age 48 years) in a consecutive five-year period, who had histologically verified lipoma (n is 29) and liposarcoma (n is 9), were retrospect...

Downlo sarcomas are aggressive mesenchymal cancers with poor outcomes that exhibit remarkable histologic ity (there are five recognized subtypes). Currently, the mainstay of therapy for liposarcoma is surgical n because liposarcomas are often resistant to traditional chemotherapy. In light of the high mortality ated with liposarcoma and the lack of effective systemic therapy, we sought novel ge...

Liposarcoma is very rare mesenchymal tumor that occurs in deep soft tissue and mostly seen in limbs and retroperitoneum, accounts for 24% of extremity and 45% of retroperitoneal soft tissue sarcomas. Retroperitoneal liposarcomas are typically present with advanced disease and often carry a poor prognosis. Retroperitoneal liposarcomas grow slowly in the very expandable retroperitoneal space in t...

Retroperitoneal liposarcoma presenting as an inguinal hernia is a rare entity. We present the first case of Giant recurrent liposarcoma presenting as a recurrent inguinal hernia in a 40-year-old male. Physical examination showed an irreducible lump in the right inguinal region and a scar in the right lumbar and right inguinal region. Computed tomography (CT) scan of abdomen revealed it to be a ...

Liposarcoma presenting as a paratesticular mass with spermatic cord involvement is rare and frequently misdiagnosed (Coleman et al., 2003). Investigation of spermatic cord liposarcoma has been difficult because of its rarity. The current standard therapeutic approach for spermatic cord tumor has been radical inguinal orchiectomy with wide local resection of surrounding soft tissues (Rodriguez e...

Primary liver liposarcoma is a rare disease. The knowledge of the clinical course, management, and prognosis of primary liver liposarcoma are all limited because of its rarity. Twelve cases of primary liposarcoma of the liver have been previously reported. We present the thirteenth case, which occurred in an adult male patient. A 42-year-old male patient came to our outpatient department with c...

A 15-year-old, female mixed-breed dog presented with abdominal distention. An exploratory laparotomy revealed a large left ovarian mass (20 × 15 × 12 cm). Histopathological examination of the mass revealed a mixed myxoid liposarcoma and a well-differentiated leiomyoma. Four months after surgical removal of the mass, the dog died due to multiorgan metastasis. The metastasis was composed solely o...
