ABSTRACT
More than 20% of soft-tissue tumors belong to the group of adipocytic neoplasms. Difficulties may occur in the differential diagnosis of lipomas versus atypical lipomatous tumors/well-differentiated liposarcomas, in the distinction of dedifferentiated liposarcomas from other soft-tissue sarcoma entities and in the detailed subtyping of liposarcomas. Especially in biopsies, the correct diagnosis and grading may be hampered due to limited tissue. Because of the ever-increasing molecular-pathological knowledge of soft-tissue tumors and the rising distribution of molecular diagnostic assays in institutes of pathology, differential diagnosis has been facilitated, as more than 90% of adipocytic tumors carry more or less specific genomic alterations. In the following, the most important subtypes of adipocytic tumors are described morphologically and genomically.
