Overview

NCI Definition: A liposarcoma characterized by the presence of round non-lipogenic primitive mesenchymal cells and small signet ring lipoblasts within a myxoid stoma with a branching vascular pattern. This category includes hypercellular lesions with round cell morphology, formerly known as round cell liposarcoma. [1]

Myxoid liposarcomas most frequently harbor alterations in DDIT3, FUS, PIK3CA, PTEN, and TP53 [2].

Most Commonly Altered Genes in Myxoid Liposarcoma

DDIT3 Fusion, FUS-DDIT3 Fusion, FUS Fusion, DDIT3-FUS Fusion, and PIK3CA Mutation are the most common alterations in myxoid liposarcoma [2].
