Recent Advancement in Atypical Lipomatous Tumor Research

  • Emi Mashima,
  • Yu Sawada and
  • Motonobu Nakamura

After Evans and colleagues identified the lipomatous tumor with a well-differentiated liposarcoma in a subcutaneous location or within a muscle layer, namely, atypical lipomatous tumor (ALT), this malignancy has been investigated to clarify the chara...
