Hint For Head And Neck Malignant Liposarcoma - 4 Cases Series Report

Tengchin Wang

Abstract :

 

Background:

Liposarcoma is a category of sarcoma generally originates from deep soft tissue in the extremities and retroperitoneal spaces and rarely occurs in the head and neck region. The challenges exists in diagnosing between lipoma and liposarcoma due to histological similarities. However, the specific radiolodical features can help to identify the malignant lipomatous lesions.

Method:

We reviewed the images of the 4 patients who were diagnosed with liposarcoma between 1996 and 2013. We assessed the radiological features according to the literature reports.

Results:

These cases showed the characteristic findings : (1) fat less than 75% of the tumor volume in all patients, (2) the presence of thick septa (Figure 1b, 2a, 4), and (3) nodular or globular features

Conclusion:

These radiological features can indicate malignancy and are helpful in accurately diagnosing liposarcoma.
