Well-differentiated liposarcoma (atypical lipoma) of the lower extremity in a patient with bilateral leg lipodystrophy and lymphedema.
1996
We present a report of a patient with bilateral lower extremity lipodystrophy and lymphedema who underwent excision of a large extremity liposarcoma. Total excision of the tumor was performed with no evidence of recurrence to date. The natural history, characteristics, and management of this tumor are discussed. A high index of suspicion and awareness among surgeons and pathologists should allow accurate diagnosis and treatment of this condition.
