The prognosis of liposarcoma will depend on the histopathological subtype.  Atypical lipomatous neoplasm/well-differentiated liposarcoma has a low metastasis risk, but may recur locally.  The pleomorphic liposarcoma has a high metastasis potential and a high recurrence.

Overview

Natural History

  • Liposarcomas may remain asymptomatic for a long time, specially if they are located in the retroperitoneum. The common presentation for a liposarcoma located in the soft tissue of the skin is a painless growing mass without other symptoms.

Complications

Metastatic Disease

Prognosis

The prognosis of liposarcoma will depend on the histopathological subtype. Atypical lipomatous neoplasm/well-differentiated liposarcoma has a low metastasis risk, but may recur locally. The pleomorphic liposarcoma has a high metastasis potential and a high recurrence.
