Recently described adipocytic tumors

Clinical features Morphologic features Immunophenotype Genetic abnormality
Anisometric cell lipoma (dysplastic lipoma) Adults; M > F; subcutis or superficial soft tissue; often posterior neck and upper trunk Mature adipocytes with significant variation in size and shape, accompanied by frequent microscopic foci of fat necrosis, minimal nuclear atypia, and Lochkern change Loss of RB1 expression (complete or partial), +p53 Heterozygous RB1 deletion
Atypical spindle cell/pleomorphic lipomatous tumor Adults; M > F; superficial or deep soft tissue; extremities (mainly distal) and limb girdles, but can involve any part of the body (including body cavities and viscera) Various proportions of spindle cells, pleomorphic (multinucleated) cells, adipocytes, and/or lipoblasts with collagenous to myxoid stoma and infiltrative borders +CD34 (majority), loss of RB1 (about 50%), +S-100 (variable), +desmin (variable) Deletions/losses of 13q14 (RB1, RCBTB2, ITM2B, and DLEU1), monosomy 7
