Well-Differentiated Lipomatous Neoplasms
Diagnostic Challenges
• Morphologic overlap
• IHC usually unhelpful
• Rarity of some entities
• Inconsistent application of terminology
• Recent advances in cytogenetics and molecular diagnostics

Rules of fatty tumors
1. Location: • Lipomas occur in superficial soft tissue• Liposarcomas occur in deep soft tissue
2. Do not look for lipoblasts
3. Cytogenetics can be helpful
Well-differentiated fatty tumorsRules:

Important (and not important) cells in fatty lesions
Lipoblasts
![Page 41: Soft Tissue Pathology: Common Diagnostic Dilemmas · Malignant melanoma HMB45 64 y.o. man with retroperitoneal mass. 17 AE1/AE3 S-100 HMB45. 18 CD20 Large B-cell lymphoma Pitfalls](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022071115/5ff466cebd78ec0c130cd144/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
41
Lipoblasts in well-differentiated fatty tumors?
I never look for them.
1. They may be seen in benign lesions (e.g. lipoblastoma, spindle cell/pleomorphic lipoma, chondroid lipoma
2. Most liposarcomas do not have them
Atypical hyperchromatic stromal cells

Atypical hyperchromatic stromal cells
Lipoma
• Age: 40-60
• Mobile, painless
• No fibrous or solid areas; <10 cm
• No atypical hyperchromatic stromal cells
• 2/3 have 12q13-15 aberrations

Atypical Lipomatous Tumor / Well-Differentiated Liposarcoma
• 6th and 7th decades of life
• M=F
• Deep soft tissue sites
• Non-metastasizing
• Local recurrence (rate related to site)
• May dedifferentiate (rate related to site)
• Characteristic cytogenetic abnormalities in almost all cases
Why “Atypical Lipomatous Tumor”?

Why “Atypical Lipomatous Tumor”?• “ALT” was introduced to avoid labeling pts with
tumor in extremity with “sarcoma”
• In the retroperitoneum / groin, only use “WDPLS”
• Intersecting fibrous bands

Melan A
Angiomyolipoma,fat-predominant variant, mimicking
well-differentiated liposarcoma
Take-Home Points
• Consider carcinoma / melanoma / lymphoma first
• Don’t forget benign mimics
• Subclassify pleomorphic sarcomas if possible
• Avoid “UPS” diagnosis if possible
• Any pleomorphic sarcoma in retroperitoneum = DDLPS (until proven otherwise)
![Page 69: Soft Tissue Pathology: Common Diagnostic Dilemmas · Malignant melanoma HMB45 64 y.o. man with retroperitoneal mass. 17 AE1/AE3 S-100 HMB45. 18 CD20 Large B-cell lymphoma Pitfalls](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022071115/5ff466cebd78ec0c130cd144/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)
69
Take-Home Points
• For ALT / WDLPS:• Use “WDLPS” – retroperitoneum, groin, mediastinum• Use “ALT” – deep soft tissue of extremities
• Consider MDM2 FISH if:1. Cytologic atypia equivocal2. Recurrent “lipoma”3. Large, deep extremity tumors without atypia4. Retroperitoneal, intraabdominal, groin tumors without
atypia
