File:Histopathology of an atypical lipomatous tumor or well-differentiated liposarcoma, lipoma-like subtype.jpg|An '''atypical lipomatous tumor''' (also termed '''well-differentiated liposarcoma'''), lipoma-like subtype. At low magnification, the majority of the tumor has the look of benign mature adipocytes, but a high magnification of a fibrous band shows spindle cells with enlarged, hyperchromatic nuclei.
