•The image demonstrates the cut (right)
and external (left) surfaces of a
liposarcoma, a malignant tumor of
adipocyte origin.
•Note that unlike the benign lipoma,
this tumor has few areas of the
yellow color of lipid.
•In contrast, there are areas of hemorrhage
due to the rapid growth and the poor
quality of the capillaries in the lesion.
