Why the study?
While prognosis, clinical behavior, and treatment response among histologic subtypes are well described in adults, data in pediatric liposarcoma remain limited.
This case series and literature review adds treatment, survival, and genomic data to the limited literature on pediatric liposarcoma.
Case series data on pediatric liposarcoma warrant cautious interpretation; extends sparse literature but leaves open need for prospective studies.
Liposarcoma is arare soft tissue sarcoma in children. While prognosis, clinical behavior, and response to therapy among the various histologic subtypes are well described in adults, data in children are limited. Here, we describe our experience treating 14 children with liposarcoma at a large, academic pediatric center and review the available pediatric literature. This comprehensive report adds treatment, survival, and genomic data to pediatric liposarcoma literature.
