Diagnosis and management of lipomatous tumors.

چکیده
Lipomatous tumors range from benign lipomas to high-grade liposarcomas. Liposarcomas are classified into five histologic subtypes: well-differentiated, dedifferentiated, myxoid, round cell, and pleomorphic, which differ in outcomes and patterns of recurrence. Surgical resection is the mainstay of curative treatment; however, large, high grade liposarcomas may benefit from multimodality treatment with chemotherapy and radiation. A histologic-subtype specific nomogram provides accurate survival predictions. Prospective randomized clinical trials will continue to improve our care of patients with liposarcoma.

Clinico-pathologic Appraisal of Lipomatous Lesions in the Head and Neck Region; a Multicenter Nigerian Study
Lipomatous tumors originate from adipocytes, and represent the largest group of mesenchymal tumors. Lipomas are most likely under reported due to their insidious growth. About 13% of lipomas occur in the head and neck region. When they occur in the maxillofacial region, it is likely for the patients to be referred to the hospital for aesthetical reasons. In this multicenter study, data such as ...
متن کاملAtypical lipomatous tumors/well-differentiated liposarcomas: clinical outcome of 67 patients.
Atypical lipomatous tumors/well-differentiated liposarcomas are low-grade malignant mesenchymal neoplasms with high propensity to local recurrence and potential to dedifferentiate to higher grades over time. However, the published risks of local recurrence and dedifferentiation vary, and no unified treatment and follow-up plan has been accepted. We performed a study to evaluate the long-term cl...
