Fat cell tumors constitute the largest group of the soft tissue tumors. lipomas account for at least 30% of benign soft tissue tumors. Liposarcoma are most common soft tissue sarcomas. Typical lipomas are easy to identified by conventional MRI, characterized with high signals on T1WI and T2WI, signal are reduced in fat suppression sequence. But atypical lipomas, including space, are difficult to diagnosis. Diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) can detect the signal strength according to the difference of water molecular diffusion movement.The apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values, as quantitative parameters, can be used in the evaluation of benign and malignant tumors.
