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]

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.

Lipoma

Main article: Lipoma

Pleomorphic lipoma

General

  • Rare.
  • May mimic a malignancy.[6]
  • Male > female.[7]

Gross

  • Classically shoulder and neck region in adults.[8]

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:

IHC

  • AR +ve - ~95% in men, ~85% in women.[7]
  • CD34 +ve (26 +ve of 26 cases[11]).
  • Desmin -ve (0 +ve of 20 cases[11]).
  • ER -ve/+ve (5 +ve of 21 cases[11]).

Spindle cell lipoma

General

  • Rare.
  • Predominantly men.[12]

Note:

  • Spindle cell lipoma may immunohistochemically and histomorphologically overlap with mammary-type myofibroblastoma[13] - see: mammary myofibroblastoma.

Microscopic

Features:[12]

  • Aligned bland spindled cells adjacent to fat.
  • Rope-like collagen bundles - key feature.
    • May be described as "shreaded wheat".
  • +/-Myxoid component.
  • +/-Staghorn-like vessels.

IHC

  • CD34 +ve.[15]
  • Desmin +ve.
  • S100 -ve. (???)

Hibernoma

Main article: Hibernoma

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:[16]

  • Large adipocytes.
  • Atypical lipoblasts - focal, scattered:
    • Nuclear hyperchromasia.
    • +/-Multinucleated.

Liposarcoma

Main article: Liposarcoma
