Liposarcoma
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
When a lump appears that grows under the skin or in deep tissues, especially in the legs or abdomen, it is worth having it reviewed: liposarcoma is a malignant tumor that develops from the body's fatty tissue.
What it is: It is part of the soft tissue sarcomas and can appear in different regions, sometimes reaching a considerable size before causing discomfort.
Signs to watch for: A painless mass that increases in size, a sensation of pressure or, depending on its location, discomfort when moving.
Whom to see? The orthopedist frequently takes part in its evaluation when it affects the limbs, along with oncology teams. Detecting an abnormal growth early and having it reviewed by a professional makes the difference.
