Learn About Myxoid Liposarcoma

What is the definition of Myxoid Liposarcoma?
Myxoid liposarcoma is a subtype of liposarcoma, tumors that arise in the body's fat tissue. Other categories of liposarcoma include well-differentiated; dedifferentiated; round cell; and pleomorphic. Round cell and Myxoid liposarcomas are sometimes grouped together into one category known as myxoid/round cell liposarcoma (MRCLS). In adults, liposarcomas are the most common type of soft tissue sarcoma. The cause of liposarcomas is not well-established but trauma has been implicated in some cases. Myxoid liposarcomas generally arise in the lower extremities. Symptoms may vary depending on the location of the tumor but may include swelling; decreased range of motion; numbness; fatigue; abdominal pain; weight loss; nausea; and vomiting. Many patients with liposarcoma have no symptoms until the tumor is large and interferes with neighboring structures.
What are the alternative names for Myxoid Liposarcoma?
  • Myxoid liposarcoma
  • MRCLS
  • Myxoid/round cell liposarcoma
  • Myxoliposarcoma
