title: [Surgical therapy of liposarcoma].
abstract: The clinical course of 17 patients with liposarcoma was followed from 6 months to 20 years. Local recurrence was seen in 11 patients, metastases in 3. Survival was 1 year in one case up to 18 years in another. There was a close correlation of survival and histological findings. There was also a distinct influence of primary surgical therapy on local recurrence rate. In our opinion, the extent of excision of the primary tumor is most important in the treatment of liposarcoma.
