The management of deep-seated low grade lipomatous lesions.

The management of deep-seated low grade lipomatous lesions. Br J Radiol. 2018 Jan 05;:20170725 Authors: Al-Ani Z, Fernando M, Wilkinson V, Kotnis N Abstract Deep-seated, low grade lipomatous lesions detected on imaging often cause uncertainty for diagnosis and treatment. Confidently distinguishing lipomas from well-differentiated liposarcomas (WDL) is often not possible on imaging. The approach to management of such lesions varies widely between institutions. Applying an evidenced-based approach set around published literature that clearly highlights how criteria such as lesion size, location, age and imaging features can be used to predict the risk of WDL and subsequent de-differentiation would seem sensible. Our aim is to review the literature and produce a unified, evidence-based guideline that will be a useful tool for managing these lesions. PMID: 29303371 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
