[Liposarcoma]

During a 12-year period, 10 men and 5 women ranging in age from 22-76 (mean 53 years), were treated for liposarcoma. In 7 the tumor was located in the retroperitoneum, in 5 in the lower extremity and in 1 each, in the back, shoulder and groin. The best results were given by wide excision of the tumor followed by chemo or radiotherapy.
