CT scan is crucial for the diagnosis of liposarcoma. CT scan may detect regions of lipid and non-lipid components that correlate with histological subtypes of liposarcoma. CT scan may demonstrate the size, location, and depth of a liposarcoma, as well as [[lymph node]] involvement and distant [[metastasis]].

Overview

CT scan is crucial for the diagnosis of liposarcoma. CT scan may detect regions of lipid and non-lipid components that correlate with histological sub-types of liposarcoma. CT scan can demonstrate the size, location, and depth of a liposarcoma, as well as lymph node involvement and distant metastasis.
