Overview

Natural History

Complications

Metastatic Disease

The most common sites of metastases from liposarcoma are to the lungs, liver, peritoneal surfaces, and brain (1).

Prognosis

The prognosis varies depending on the site of origin, the type of cancer cell, the tumor size, the depth, and proximity to lymph nodes. Metastases are common. The 5 year survival rate for a high-grade liposarcoma is less than 50%.
