Adipocytic tumours fall into the grouping soft tissue lesions and includes things that are very common (e.g. lipoma) and everything from benign to malignant.
Overview
This grouping includes a number of tumours, which can be divided based on their behaviour into benign, intermediate and malignant.
Benign
Benign adipocytic tumours:[1]
- Lipoma.
- Angiolipoma.
- Myolipoma.
- Pleomorphic lipoma/spindle cell lipoma.
- Lipomatosis.
- Lipomatosis of nerve.
- Lipoblastoma.
- Extrarenal angiomyolipoma.
- Extra-adrenal myelolipoma.
- Hibernoma.
Intermediate
Intermediate adipocytic tumours:[1]
- Atypical lipomatous tumour.
Malignant
Malignant adipocytic tumours:[1]
- Dedifferentiated liposarcoma.
- Myxoid liposarcoma.
- Pleomorphic liposarcoma.
- Mixed-type liposarcoma.
- Liposarcoma NOS.
Detail section
Normal mature fat
Microscopic
Features:
- Adipocytes of approximately equal size.
- Not vascular.
- No nuclear hyperchromasia.
Notes:
- May have nuclear pseudoinclusions (Lockhern cell).[2]
- There is some suggestion this is not benign.[3]
IHC
- S100 +ve.
Lipoblastoma
General
- Rare paediatric tumour.[4]
Usual presentation:[4]
- Painless neck mass.
Microscopic
Features:
- Nests of cells in the dermis with abundant pale cytoplasm - vaguely resemble adipocytes.
- Smaller than mature adipocytes.
DDx:
Images:
Lipoma
General
- Benign.
- Several variants exist.
- Angiolipoma - one of the (classically) painful skin lesions.
Microscopic
Features:
- Collection of mature adipocytes.
- Variation of size may be seen -- should prompt a search for lipoblasts.[6]
Notes:
- Microscopically not definitely distinguishable from mature clump of fat.
- The lesion must be labeled lipoma (by the clinican) to be signed-out as such.
DDx:
- Liposarcoma - increased number of blood vessels,[7] esp. chickenwire-like vessels, fibrous septae.
- Benign adipose tissue.
Images:
Variants
Angiolipoma
Microscopic:
- Numerous blood vessels present.
- +/-Microthrombi.
DDx:
Myolipoma
Microscopic:[10]
- Mature adipose tissue.
- Benign smooth muscle - usually ~ 2x amount of fat.
IHC:[10]
- Actin +ve.
- Desmin +ve.
Image:
Sign out
SUBCUTANEOUS TISSUE ("LIPOMA"), LEFT AXILLA, EXCISION:
- MATURE ADIPOSE TISSUE CONSISTENT WITH LIPOMA.
LESION ("LIPOMA"), SPERMATIC CORD (LATERALITY NOT SPECIFIED), EXCISION:
- MATURE ADIPOSE TISSUE CONSISTENT WITH LIPOMA.
Mirco
The sections show mature adipocytes. There is no increase in vascularity. No thick fibrous septa are present.
Pleomorphic lipoma
General
Gross
- Classically shoulder and neck region in adults.[15]
DDx - shoulder lesions:
Microscopic
Features:
- Multinucleated cells - "floret cells" - key feature.
- Solid eosinophilic cytoplasm.
- Peripheral nuclei - impart a knobby border to the cells.
- Fibrous septa.
Notes:
- May overlap with spindle cell lipoma.[16]
- Floret cell - may look similar to Touton giant cells.
Images:
- Pleomorphic lipoma - low mag. (webpathology.com).
- Pleomorphic lipoma - high mag. (webpathology.com).
DDx:
- Liposarcoma.
- Ancient neurofibroma.
- Ancient schwannoma.
IHC
- AR +ve - ~95% in men, ~85% in women.[14]
Spindle cell lipoma
General
- Rare.
- Predominantly men.[10]
Note:
- Spindle cell lipoma may immunohistochemically and histomorphologically overlap with mammary-type myofibroblastoma[17] - see: mammary myofibroblastoma.
Microscopic
Features:[10]
- Aligned bland spindled cells adjacent to fat.
- Rope-like collagen bundles - key feature.
- May be described as "shreaded wheat".
- +/-Myxoid component.
- +/-Staghorn-like vessels.
Notes:
- May overlap with pleomorphic lipoma.[16]
DDx:
Image:
IHC
- CD34 +ve.[18]
- Desmin +ve.
- S100 -ve. (???)
Hibernoma
General
- Consists of brown fat (present in the infants to generate heat).[19]
- Benign.
- Usually asymptomatic.[20]
Epidemiology:
- Young adults.
Gross
- Well-circumscribed.
- Lobulated and light-brown on sectioning.
Microscopic
Features:[21]
- Large polygonal/oval cells:
- +/-Prominent blood vessels, central.[24]
DDx:
- Reaction to silicone implant.
Image:
Atypical lipomatous tumour
- AKA well-differentiated liposarcoma, abbreviated WDLPS.
- Abbreviated ALT/WDLPS.
General
- Atypical lipomatous tumour is a term used to save people with a (curable) peripheral liposarcoma from getting denied life insurance.
Microscopic
Features:[25]
- Large adipocytes.
- Atypical lipoblasts - focal, scattered:
- Nuclear hyperchromasia.
- +/-Multinucleated.
Liposarcoma
General
- Most common malignant sarcoma in the retroperitoneum.
- Not all (large) retroperitoneal adipocytic tumours are liposarcomas.
Notes:
- Retroperitoneal sarcomas: #1: liposarcoma, #2: pleomorphic undifferentiated sarcoma, #3: leiomyosarcoma, #4: MPNST.
- Extremely rare in retroperitoneum: synovial sarcoma.
Microscopic
Features:
- Lipoblasts - key feature.
- Large sharply demarcated vacuole.
- Nucleus:
- Hyperchromatic (dark staining) nucleus.
- Eccentric location.
- Nuclear indentation.
- Chicken wire-like vascular.
- +/-Myxoid background.
- Cell size variation.
DDx:
Images:
- Myxoid liposarcoma (WC).
- Myxoid liposarcoma (WC).
- Lipoblasts (john-libbey-eurotext.fr).
- Dediff. liposarcoma - lipoblasts - very high mag. (WC).
- Dediff. liposarcoma - shows dediff. component - intermed. mag. (WC).
- Poorly diff. liposarcoma - several images (upmc.edu).
Subtypes
There are several subtypes:[1]
- Dedifferentiated liposarcoma.
- Myxoid liposarcoma.
- Mixed-type liposarcoma.
- Pleomorphic liposarcoma.
- Liposarcoma not otherwise specified (NOS).
Myxoid liposarcoma
Gross
Location:[28]
- 90% in lower limb.
- 81% deep.
Microscopic
Features:
- Chickenwire-type blood vessels.
- Clear spaces.
- Adipocytes - may be rare.
DDx:
Images:
Molecular
Typically has a translocation:
- t(12;16)(q13;p11) TLS-CHOP.[29]
- May have the translocation usually seen in clear cell sarcoma:
- t(12;22)(q13;q12) EWS-ATF1.[30]
Dedifferentiated liposarcoma
- Has an undifferentiated component that, if seen alone, would be diagnosed as pleomorphic undifferentiated sarcoma.
- The diagnosis depends on the presence of the differentiated component of the tumour, i.e. the presence of lipoblasts.
IHC
- IHC is of limited value.
- S-100 +ve ~1/3 of the time.
- Reticulin ???.
