Myxoid liposarcoma. Light and electron microscopic investigation.
Liposarcoma is an important soft tissue sarcoma. It requires careful classification into types, since prognosis varies considerably with histological appearance. In this case a myxoid sarcoma is shown to contain cells resembling fetal fat with active pinocytosis, and some scanty signet-ring cells. Their ultrastructural appearances are described.
