Liposarcomas are the most common soft tissue sarcoma primarily originating in deep soft tissues and the retroperitoneum. Sarcoma classification includes atypical lipomatous tumor/well-differentiated liposarcoma (WDL) and dedifferentiated liposarcoma (DDL), myxoid liposarcoma, and pleomorphic liposarcoma. DDL is most prevalent in the retroperitoneum and often has two distinct components, a well-differentiated lipomatous component and a dedifferentiated nonlipomatous component that could be morphologically similar to malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH) or fibrosarcoma. DDLs can undergo heterologous differentiation into multiple cancer types including rhabdomyosarcoma, chondrosarcoma, melanoma, and leiomyosarcoma. Rarely, DDLs can undergo metaplastic bone formation. We report a peculiar case of a DDL with an osseous component.
脂肪肉瘤是最常见的软组织肉瘤,主要起源于深部软组织和腹膜后间隙。肉瘤分类包括非典型脂肪瘤性肿瘤/高分化脂肪肉瘤(WDL)和去分化脂肪肉瘤(DDL)、黏液样脂肪肉瘤和多形性脂肪肉瘤。DDL在腹膜后最常见,通常有两个不同的成分,一个高分化的脂肪瘤性成分和一个去分化的非脂肪瘤性成分,后者在形态上可能类似于恶性纤维组织细胞瘤(MFH)或纤维肉瘤。DDL可发生异源性分化,形成多种癌症类型,包括横纹肌肉瘤、软骨肉瘤、黑色素瘤和平滑肌肉瘤。DDL很少能发生化生骨形成。我们报告了一例伴有骨成分的DDL特殊病例。
