Liposarcoma the Doctors Doctor

Description: Liposarcoma occurs in the deep soft tissue of extremities and in the retroperitoneum. It is the most common soft tissue sarcoma and accounts for 20% of all mesenchymal tumors. They are typically large bulky tumors which tend to have multiple satellite lesions extending beyond the gross confines of the tumor. Patients usually note a deep seated mass in their soft tissue for tumors of the extremity. Only when the tumor is very large, do symptoms of pain or functional disturbances occur.
