INTRODUCTION Retroperitoneal liposarcoma Conventional histotypes are well-differentiated (WD) and dedifferentiated (DD) liposarcoma – MDM2 amplification and protein over-expression Myxoid / round cell liposarcoma Pleomorphic liposarcoma Spindle cell (fibrosarcoma-like)
RATIONALE Predicting behaviour of primary retroperitoneal liposarcoma (RP LPS) is challenging Conventional indicators not applicable (e.g., TNM) Local recurrence is predominant clinical challenge Lack of consensus on prognostic indicators – Clinical and surgical attributes inconsistent – Pathologic FNCLCC grade Low-grade (LG-) versus high-grade (HG-) dedifferentiation
RATIONALE Background - FNCLCC grading system MITOTIC COUNT NECROSIS DIFFERENTIATION
Well-differentiated – Lipoma-like – Sclerosing – Inflammatory RATIONALE Background - Differentiation Dedifferentiated – Low-grade (LG-DD) Well-differentiated High-grade – High-grade (HG-DD) Dedifferentiated DIFFERENTIATION Low-grade
OBJECTIVE Review of institutional experience with RP LPS to assess variables of potential prognostic significance Pathologic – Fédération Nationale des Centres de Lutte Contre le Cancer (FNCLCC) grading system Tumour differentiation, mitotic index, necrosis – Histotype Well-differentiated vs Dedifferentiated – Extent of dedifferentiation Low-grade vs high-grade MITOTIC COUNT NECROSIS DedifferentiatedWell-differentiated DIFFERENTIATION Low-grade High-grade

METHODS Cases identified from prospective database Jan 1996 to Dec 2013 Pathology review of all RP sarcomas (pre- treatment biopsy and resections) – College of American Pathologists: synoptic criteria, incl: FNCLCC Grading Extent of dedifferentiation, based on WHO criteria Statistical analysis by SPSS Chi-squared and Kaplan Meier curves (log-rank)
STUDY POPULATION Inclusion Criteria – Primary RP LPS treated with curative intent – Unequivocal diagnosis, based on: Histomorphology – IHC for MDM2 – FISH for MDM2 Exclusion – Other diagnosis (e.g., lipoma, leiomyosarcoma)
