title: Standardized echographic-histopathologic correlations in liposarcoma.
abstract: A 57-year-old woman had metastatic liposarcoma of the left orbit that underwent transformation. The primary focus in the abdomen, resected in 1975, was a well-differentiated liposarcoma. Later metastases to the neck and orbit were poorly differentiated, pleomorphic, and highly anaplastic liposarcomas. The ultrasonographic and histopathologic correlations of the different stages of the tumor during the disease process were analyzed and compared. This patient's disease had echopathologic similarities to other orbital sarcomas and adult cavernous hemangiomas.
