  • Title: Derangement of adipose tissue: a case report of multicentric retroperitoneal liposarcomas, retroperitoneal lipomatosis and multiple subcutaneous lipomas.
    Author: Barkhof F, Melkert P, Meyer S, Blomjous CE.
    Journal: Eur J Surg Oncol; 1991 Oct; 17(5):547-50. PubMed ID: 1936305.
    Abstract:
    No aetiological factors are at present known in the pathogenesis of liposarcomas. Benign lipomatous disorders, such as lipomas and lipomatosis, generally do not predispose to the development of liposarcomas. A case is presented of a patient with multicentric retroperitoneal liposarcomas, associated with retroperitoneal lipomatosis and preceded by a long history of multiple subcutaneous lipomas. In the literature this combination has not been described. This rare combination of lipomatous disorders seems to indicate a common derangement of adipose tissue.
