In a series of 99 liposarcomas, the prognostic impact of the various diagnostic and therapeutic factors was analyzed. The analysis indicated that the tumor size, histologic subtype, and x‐ray density are important prognostic factors. The prognosis is also influenced by operability and treatment modalities employed. Treatment strategy should be radical, irrespective of the actual prognostic factors.
