Large soft tissue tumors--5 cm or greater--or deep-seated tumors have a greater risk of being malignant than smaller and superficially located tumors (9). In a period of 2 years 43 consecutive patients with lipomatous tumors 5 cm in diameter or greater were examined with MR imaging. The MR findings were correlated to histologic features and diagnosis. Twenty-six tumors were classic lipomas both on MR and at microscopy; 8 lipomas showed other features--some of them raising suspicion of malignancy at MR; all, however, were histologically benign. Nine tumors were considered malignant at MR imaging; all 9 proved to be malignant by microscopy.

D008067 Lipoma A benign tumor composed of fat cells (ADIPOCYTES). It can be surrounded by a thin layer of connective tissue (encapsulated), or diffuse without the capsule.

D008080 Liposarcoma A malignant tumor derived from primitive or embryonal lipoblastic cells. It may be composed of well-differentiated fat cells or may be dedifferentiated: myxoid (LIPOSARCOMA, MYXOID), round-celled, or pleomorphic, usually in association with a rich network of capillaries. Recurrences are common and dedifferentiated liposarcomas metastasize to the lungs or serosal surfaces.

D008279 Magnetic Resonance Imaging Non-invasive method of demonstrating internal anatomy based on the principle that atomic nuclei in a strong magnetic field absorb pulses of radiofrequency energy and emit them as radiowaves which can be reconstructed into computerized images. The concept includes proton spin tomographic techniques.
