Highlights • Liposarcomas typically presents as bulky heterogeneous solid lesions that are larger/firmer than simple “cord lipoma.” Tumors range from 3 to 30 cm in diameter.• Current controversy in management of liposarcomas pertains to the use of adjuvant chemotherapy or radiotherapy and whether these treatment options decrease recurrence/survival.• We recommend an initial complete resection with wide margins without the use of adjuvant therapy with aggressive long-term surveillance.• Based on extrapolated data from studies pertaining to sarcomas of the extremities, adjuvant radiation or chemotherapy may serve a role but further research is crucial.
