AB  - AT-A-GLANCELipogenic  neoplasms  represent  the  most  frequent  mesenchymal  neoplasms.Lipogenic  neoplasms  include  benign  neoplasms  (eg,  lipoma,  angiolipoma),  intermediate,  locally  aggressive,  nonmetastasizing  neoplasms  (eg,  atypical  lipomatous  tumor),  and  clearly  malignant  lesions  (eg,  pleomorphic  liposarcoma).Anatomic  site,  depth,  and  size  are  responsible  for  striking  differences  in  regard  to  incidence,  morphology,  and  prognosis.The  clinical  presentation  of  lipogenic  neoplasms  is  usually  nonspecific.The  majority  of  lipogenic  neoplasms  is  characterized  by  distinct  cytogenetic  abnormalities  that  may  have  diagnostic  and  therapeutic  value.Surgical  excision  is  the  treatment  of  choice;  in  cases  of  malignant  neoplasms  not  amenable  for  complete  excision  radiation  therapy,  however,  chemotherapy  or  target-like  therapy  may  be  used.
