Main differential diag- noses include spindle cell lipoma (composed of bland, sometimes palisading, CD34-positive spindle cells, ad- mixed with eosinophilic refractile collagen bundles), neurofibroma (characterized by a less cellular S-100– positive spindle cell proliferation with wavy nuclei), dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (cytologically bland, monomorphic CD34-positive spindle cell proliferation organized in a distinctive storiform growth pattern and characterized by tendency to infiltrate the surrounding fat in a peculiar ‘‘honeycomb’’ pattern), malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (generally highly cellular tumors composed of tapering or wavy spindle cells featuring perivascular accentuation and focal S-100– positive immunoreactivity in approximately 50% of cases), and well-differentiated sclerosing liposarcoma (characterized by the presence of bizarre hyperchro- matic stromal cells set in fibrillary collagen). The pres- ence of an atypical lipomatous component also permits distinction from low-grade fibromyxoid sarcoma (Evans’ tumor). Interestingly, spindle cell liposarcoma exhibits chromosome changes (ring chromosomes and giant marker chromosomes) identical to those observed in other members of the well-differentiated liposarcoma group, thus validating its classification.<ref name="pmid10982304">{{cite journal| author=Dei Tos AP| title=Liposarcoma: new entities and evolving concepts. | journal=Ann Diagn Pathol | year= 2000 | volume= 4 | issue= 4 | pages= 252-66 | pmid=10982304 | doi=10.1053/adpa.2000.8133 | pmc= | url=http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=10982304  }} </ref>
