  		Fig. 2A. —62-year-old man with low-grade myxoid–round cell liposarcoma in left buttock. Axial T2-weighted fast spin-echo MR image (TR/TE, 3,500/100) shows septate appearance of lesion. Linear structures of low intensity contained thick septa (arrow) and thin septa (arrowheads).

  		Fig. 2B. —62-year-old man with low-grade myxoid–round cell liposarcoma in left buttock. Axial fat-saturated contrast-enhanced T1-weighted spin-echo MR image (720/20) shows tumor of high intensity with slight enhancement of septa.

  		Fig. 2C. —62-year-old man with low-grade myxoid–round cell liposarcoma in left buttock. Photomicrograph of specimen shows paucicellular myxoid liposarcoma with less than 25% round cell components has dispersed small round or short spindled cells and multivacuolated lipoblasts within abundant myxoid matrix and plexiform vascular network. (H and E, x200)

  		Fig. 3B. —28-year-old man with intermediate-grade myxoid–round cell liposarcoma in left thigh. Fat-suppressed contrast-enhanced T1-weighted spin-echo MR image (650/12) shows pseudocapsular enhancement (arrows) and globular and nodular enhancement (arrowheads).

  		Fig. 3C. —28-year-old man with intermediate-grade myxoid–round cell liposarcoma in left thigh. Photomicrograph of specimen shows cellular myxoid liposarcoma with round cell components composed of solid sheets of round cells with large and coarse chromatin and little intervening myxoid stroma. (H and E, x200)

  		Fig. 4A. —69-year-old man with high-grade myxoid–round cell liposarcoma in left thigh. Sagittal contrast-enhanced T1-weighted spin-echo MR image (TR/TE, 600/15) shows globular and nodular enhancement (arrows) and pronounced enhancement (arrowheads) predominantly at tumor periphery.
