    Survivor - Pleomorphic Liposarcoma
    I was diagnosed with this cancer at age 40 in 1999. Right knee. Radical surgery followed by 35 radiation treatments. Leg now looks goofy but works fine. I am willing to share any information that may be of benefit to you. Let me know! Kelvin

    Suggestive Pleomorphic Liposarcoma
    Hello there,

    My father just had a surgery for a malignant tumor which doctors say is Pleomorphic Liposarcoma. Below is the Biopsy report, I do not know what it is and what I need to do now. I consulted two doctors, and they have two different views. Can you please advise and help.


    HISPATHOLOGY ( BIOPSY REPORT )

    CLINICAL DETAILS PROVIDED
    Right Adrenal Spindle cell tumor

    SPECIMEN
    Right adrenal mass

    GROSS FINDINGS
    Received modular mass, weigh 1.6kg measuring 22*14*12cm . External surface is smooth and congested. Cut surface yellowish tissue with areas of hemorrhage. Adrenal gland identified at one pole.

    MICROSCOPIC FINDING
    Sections studied from various levels show a highly cellular lesion composed of spindle shaped cells with elongated vesicular nuclei, moderate nuclear pleomorphism. Frequent mitotic figures are seen 12-14/10. There are scattered giant cells in a myxoid background. Tumor is well circumscribed. Areas of necrosis are seen.

    IMPRESSION
    High Grade Sarcoma
    Features are suggestive of Pleomorphic Liposarcoma.
