Abstract

The most recent WHO classification of soft tissue tumors recognizes the following adipocytic tumors: lipoma, lipomatosis, lipomatosis of nerve, lipoblastoma, angiolipoma, myolipoma of soft tissue, chondroid lipoma, spindle cell lipoma/pleomorphic lipoma, hibernoma, atypical lipomatous tumor/well-­differentiated ­liposarcoma (ALT/WDL), dedifferentiated liposarcoma, myxoid liposarcoma, pleomorphic liposarcoma, and mixed-type ­liposarcoma.1
