Spectrum of imaging appearances of dedifferentiated liposarcoma in three different patients. (a) Axial intravenous contrast material–enhanced CT image of dedifferentiated liposarcoma in a 58-year-old man shows areas of sharply demarcated fat (*) and blended fat (arrowheads), as well as larger enhancing solid components (straight arrow), with a less well-defined margin (curved arrow). (b) Axial intravenous and oral contrast material–enhanced CT image of dedifferentiated liposarcoma in a 72-year-old man shows progression to fewer areas of blended fat (arrowhead), with larger myxoid (*) and solid enhancing (arrows) components. (c) Axial intravenous and oral contrast material–enhanced CT image of dedifferentiated liposarcoma in a 68-year-old woman shows that in addition to blended fat (arrowhead) in a larger solid mass, coarse calcification (arrow) correlating with metaplasia or chondro-osseous components can also be depicted. (d) Photomicrograph of dedifferentiated liposarcoma with well-differentiated components shows an abrupt transition between the nonlipogenic highly cellular dedifferentiated component (*) and the well-differentiated lipomatous component.
