Neural Sheath Liposarcoma: A Case Report
Abstract: Liposarcoma is a malignant mesenchymal tumor of the adipose tissue [1]. Liposarcomas most frequently arise from the deep-seated stroma rather than the submucosal or subcutaneous fat [2]. The most recent World Health Organization classification of soft tissue tumors recognizes five categories of liposarcomas: (1) well differentiated, which includes the adipocytic, sclerosing, and inflammatory subtypes; (2) de differentiated; (3) myxoid; (4) round cell; and (5) pleomorphic [2–4]. The anatomical distribution of …
