Our patient had an adipocytic WDL; on microscopic examination, his tumor clearly demonstrated the classic histopathologic characteristics of liposarcomas: variably sized mature adipocytes, widened fibrous septa, lipocytic atypia and, most important, lipoblasts with multivacuolated cytoplasm and scalloped nuclei (figure 2). Tumors are represented histologically by moderately sized malignant lipoblasts set in a myxoid background with a rich capillary network. Microscopic examination revealed that a mixture of mature adipocytes and lipoblasts in various stages of maturation were embedded in a myxoid matrix (figure 2). |
