![Page 16: Answers (1)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062304/55c46cedbb61eb22438b4824/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Treatment Cysts become inactive at skeletal maturity
and typically resolve without surgical intervention
Multiple treatments including curettage and bone grafting, steroid injections have been tried with variable efficacy
Fractures tend to lead to resolution of cyst Displaced fractures are the only absolute
surgical indication

Primary malignant tumor arising from fat 15% of all soft tissue tumors Usually presents at 40-60 years of age Two main types
Myxoid: usually low grade Stage I lesion Cytogenic marker: reciprocal translocation on chromosome
12 Pleomorphic: usually high grade Stage II lesion
Liposarcoma
![Page 21: Answers (1)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062304/55c46cedbb61eb22438b4824/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

MRI Similar to other soft tissue sarcomas,
with multilobular configuration T1) Low intensity T2) Bright signal

Treatment Preoperative adjuvant radiation therapy Wide surgical excision
Treatment Wide local excision Radiotherapy may be used to control local recurrence
and lessen the risk of metastasis
