Overdiagnosis of atypical lipomatous tumors/well-differentiated liposarcomas by morphological diagnosis using only HE stained specimens: a case–control study with MDM2/CDK4 immunostaining and MDM2/CDK4 fluorescence in situ hybridization
Morphological diagnosis alone can accurately diagnose lipomas. However, it has a propensity to overdiagnose ALT/WDLPS. Thus, MDM2 FISH should be used more proactively, not only for lesions with obvious morphological abnormalities, but also for lipomatous tumors that are clinically suggestive of ALT/WDLPS.
