Description: Liposarcoma is the most common soft tissue malignancy in adults accounting for at least 20% of all sarcomas in this age group. Myxoid-round cell liposarcoma is a subtype of liposarcoma characterized by the presence of the reciprocal chromosomal translocation t(12;16)(q13;p11). This translocation creates the FUS-DDIT3 chimeric gene.
