Diagnosis of gastrointestinal stromal tumors: A consensus approach.
Christopher D.M. Fletcher,Jules J. Berman,Christopher L. Corless,Fred Gorstein,Jerzy Lasota,B. Jack Longley,Markku Miettinen,Timothy J. O'Leary,Helen Remotti,Brian P. Rubin,Barry M. Shmookler,Leslie H. Sobin,Sharon W. Weiss +12 more
TL;DR: Key elements of the consensus are the defining role of KIT immunopositivity in diagnosis and a proposed scheme for estimating metastatic risk in these lesions, based on tumor size and mitotic count, recognizing that it is probably unwise to use the definitive term "benign" for any GIST, at least at the present time.

Dedifferentiated Liposarcoma: A Clinicopathological Analysis of 155 Cases with a Proposal for an Expanded Definition of Dedifferentiation
TL;DR: The study supports the expansion of the definition of dedifferentiated liposarcoma to include tumors with low- grade dedifferentiation and also suggests that low-grade dedifferentation represents a precursor lesion of high-grade Dedifferentiation.

Dedifferentiated liposarcoma. A clinicopathological analysis of 155 cases with a proposal for an expanded definition of dedifferentiation
TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied 155 cases of dedifferentiated liposarcoma to define its clinicopathologic features and behavior, in particular how the extent and grade of the dedifferentiation affected outcome.

Well-differentiated liposarcoma (atypical lipoma) of deep soft tissue of the extremities, retroperitoneum, and miscellaneous sites. A follow-up study of 92 cases with analysis of the incidence of "dedifferentiation".
Sharon W. Weiss,Vasantha K. Rao +1 more
TL;DR: The study indicates that the behavior of well-differentiated liposarcomas is strongly influenced by location and is not a site-specific phenomenon, but is more likely a time-dependent phenomenon seen in situations with a high likelihood for clinical persistence of disease for a long period.
