'''Liposarcoma''' is a [[malignant]] [[tumor]] that arises in [[Adipose tissue|fat cells]] in deep soft tissue, such as that inside the thigh or in the [[retroperitoneum]].
==[[Liposarcoma overview|Overview]]==


They are typically large bulky tumors which tend to have multiple smaller satellites extending beyond the main confines of the tumor.
==[[Liposarcoma historical perspective|Historical Perspective]]==


Because of their rarity, liposarcomas are best treated by a sarcoma center. 
==[[Liposarcoma classification|Classification]]==


==Symptoms==
==[[Liposarcoma pathophysiology|Pathophysiology]]==
Patients usually note a deep seated mass in their soft tissue. Only when the tumor is very large do symptoms of pain or functional disturbances occur.


Retroperitoneal tumors may present with signs of [[weight loss]] and [[emaciation]] and [[abdominal pain]]. These tumors may also compress the kidney or ureter leading to [[kidney failure]].
==[[Liposarcoma causes|Causes]]==


==Incidence/Prevalence==
==[[Liposarcoma differential diagnosis|Differentiating Liposarcoma from other Diseases]]==
Most frequent in middle-aged and older adults (age 40 and above), liposarcomas are the most common of all soft-tissue [[sarcoma]]s. Annually 2.5 cases occur per million population.


==Metastatic Disease==
==[[Liposarcoma epidemiology and demographics|Epidemiology and Demographics]]==
The most common sites of metastases from liposarcoma are to the lungs, liver, peritoneal surfaces, and brain (1).


==Prognosis==
==[[Liposarcoma epidemiology and demographics|Risk Factors]]==
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%. <!-- 2.5 cases per million is international, same site.  -->
