Myxoid liposarcoma (MLPS) is a rare soft tissue sarcoma, with propensity to metastasize to locations such as soft tissue and bone. Thus, whole-body MRI should be a consideration as part of staging for patients with a new diagnosis of MLPS since PET and CT may not identify extrapulmonary disease. Surveillance imaging should be tailored, with consideration of more frequent and longer duration of monitoring for large tumors or tumors with round cell component. This review focuses on studies evaluating imaging in MLPS as well as recent publications on survival and prognostic tools in MLPS.
黏液样脂肪肉瘤(MLPS)是一种罕见的软组织肉瘤,易于转移至软组织和骨骼等部位。因此,对于新诊断为MLPS的患者,全身MRI应作为分期检查的一部分加以考虑,因为PET和CT可能无法识别肺外疾病。监测成像应个体化,对于大肿瘤或含有圆形细胞成分的肿瘤,需考虑更频繁且更长时间的监测。本综述重点关注评估MLPS成像的研究以及近期关于MLPS生存和预后工具的出版物。
