He didn't even have a minor illness or cold, but one thing he kept thinking about was that ever since he was in high school, his right leg had been thicker and significantly larger than his left leg.
In 2023, Wu Xudong came to the Bone Oncology Department of Peking University People's Hospital. Bone tumor expert Guo Wei initially judged that this was a highly malignant liposarcoma.

He reminded everyone that they must have regular physical examinations. If there is any abnormality in the body, do not bear it or lie to yourself.
What is liposarcoma
(liposarcoma, LPS)
This is a rare soft tissue sarcoma that develops in fatty tissue. The cause of liposarcoma is unknown, but it is mainly caused by genetic factors, such as chromosomal translocation, gene fusion, trauma, radiation, etc. LPS can occur anywhere in the body, but the most common sites are the abdomen and limbs. Liposarcoma is a rare disease with unknown cause, which mostly occurs between the ages of 40 and 60.
Lipoma and liposarcoma are two completely different things. lipoma is benign, while liposarcoma is a malignant tumor.
Doctors remind: Although lipomas are benign, they may also become malignant at a low probability. For example, excessive size or repeated stimulation. Therefore, even if is a lipoma, we should pay attention to it and seek medical treatment as soon as possible.
