Newly described adipocytic lesions

Semin Diagn Pathol. 2001 Nov;18(4):238-49.

Abstract

This article reviews the clinicopathologic features and differential diagnoses of 7 newly described adipocytic lesions: chondroid lipoma, myolipoma, lipomatous hemangiopericytoma, sclerotic lipoma, fibrohistiocytic lipoma, hemosiderotic fibrohistiocytic lipomatous lesion, and spindle cell liposarcoma. Two recently described variants of spindle cell/pleomorphic lipoma are also presented: the pseudoangiomatous variant and the dendritic fibromyxolipoma, which corresponds in all likelihood to a peculiar myxoid variant of spindle cell lipoma.
