Myxoid Liposarcoma: An Ultrastructural Study of Two Cases

Abstract

Two cases in which myxoid liposarcomas were examined by use of light and electron microscopy are presented. The relationship of this tumor to the development of normal adipose tissue is discussed. Most of the ultrastructural features were identical to those of developing white adipose tissue. Features not typical of developing white adipose tissue, such as congeries of 60-Angstrom filaments and large masses of glycogen, are also illustrated and discussed.
