Journal Title: Nasza Dermatologia Online - Year 2015, Vol 6, Issue 4
Abstract

They are more common 5-10 times in males and appearing to avarage age fifth decade of life. Although differantion between lipoma and liposarcoma of low grade malignancy conflict, total surgical excision is adequate treatment.
