Excerpt

Lipomatous tumours are the most commonly occurring soft tissue tumours [1-3]. Although benign lipomatous tumours are frequent, liposarcomas do not have a high frequency of occurrence among malign bodily tumours. Liposarcomas comprise 20–30% of all soft tissue sarcomas, and they are the most commonly seen sarcomas after malignant fibrous tumours [4]. …
