ALTERNATE NAMES. Dedifferentiated Liposarcoma; Pleomorphic Liposarcoma; Inflammatory Liposarcoma; Spindle Cell Liposarcoma; Myxoid Liposarcoma. DESCRIPTION. Liposarcoma is a tumor that arises from fat tissue. This tumor often occurs in the thigh, behind the knee, or in the abdomen, but it can be found in other parts of the body.
Liposarcoma is a tumor that arises from fat tissue. The exact cause of liposarcoma is unknown but probably is related to genetic mutations. This tumor most often occurs in the extremities, but can be found in other parts of the body.
A primary malignant neoplasm that overlaps two or more contiguous (next to each other) sites should be classified to the subcategory/code .8 ('overlapping lesion'), unless the combination is specifically indexed elsewhere.
All neoplasms are classified in this chapter, whether they are functionally active or not. An additional code from Chapter 4 may be used, to identify functional activity associated with any neoplasm. Morphology [Histology] Chapter 2 classifies neoplasms primarily by site (topography), with broad groupings for behavior, malignant, in situ, benign, ...
A primary malignant neoplasm that overlaps two or more contiguous (next to each other) sites should be classified to the subcategory/code .8 ('overlapping lesion'), unless the combination is specifically indexed elsewhere.
mesothelioma ( C45.-) A primary or metastatic malignant neoplasm involving the retroperitoneum.

The treatment for liposarcoma depends on the type, size, and location of the tumor, recurrence, and spread (metastasis) of the tumor. A combination of surgery and radiation therapy is most often used. SUGGESTED PROGRAMMATIC ASSESSMENT*. Suggested MER for Evaluation:
Physical findings: People with a liposarcoma may present with: •. Painless swelling or a mass on the body that tends to be large, firm, and near underlying structures; •. Pain or soreness caused by compressed nerves or muscles; •. Limping or difficulties using the legs, feet, arms or hands; and. •.
PROGRESSION. Liposarcomas most often occur in people between the ages of 40 years of age to 60 years of age . It may also occur in children during the teenage years. The prognosis of liposarcoma varies and is based on the size, location, and recurrence of the tumors. TREATMENT.
Liposarcomas occur in tissue that is elastic and easily moved causing the tumors to exist a long time before symptoms become evident. Liposarcomas may start out as benign tumors, but later become malignant tumors and grow into surrounding tissues or organs.
Liposarcoma that is metastatic or recurrent is considered an aggressive tumor because it often spreads to other parts of the body. Some subtypes are prone to metastasis or recurrence.
