Background and Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the immunohistochemical expression of p16 (p16INK4a) and cyclin-dependent kinase 4 (CDK4) and CDK4 markers in various lineages of soft tissue tumors and to evaluate their role in differentiating atypical lipomatous tumors/well-differentiated liposarcomas from benign lipomas. This evidence concerns the gene CDK4 and lipoma.
