The characteristics of the tumor immune microenvironment remains unclear in liposarcomas, and here we aimed to determine the prognostic impact of the tumor immune microenvironment across separate liposarcomas subtypes. A total of 70 liposarcoma patients with three subtypes: myxoid liposarcoma (n = 45), dedifferentiated liposarcoma (n = 17), and pleomorphic liposarcoma (n = 8) were enrolled. The presence of tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (CD4+ , CD8+ , FOXP3+ lymphocytes) and CD163+ macrophages and expression of HLA class I and PD-L1 were assessed by immunohistochemistry in the diagnostic samples; overall survival and progression-free survival were estimated from outcome data. For infiltrating lymphocytes and macrophages, dedifferentiated liposarcoma and pleomorphic liposarcoma patients had a significantly higher number than myxoid liposarcoma patients. While myxoid liposarcoma patients with a high number of macrophages were associated with worse overall and progression-free survival, dedifferentiated liposarcoma patients with high macrophage numbers showed a trend toward favorable prognosis. Expression of HLA class I was negative in 35 of 45 (77.8%) myxoid liposarcoma tumors, whereas all dedifferentiated liposarcoma and pleomorphic liposarcoma tumors expressed HLA class I. The subset of myxoid liposarcoma patients with high HLA class I expression had significantly poor overall and progression-free survival, while dedifferentiated liposarcoma patients with high HLA class I expression tended to have favorable outcomes. Only four of 17 (23.5%) dedifferentiated liposarcomas, two of eight (25%) pleomorphic liposarcomas, and no myxoid liposarcoma tumors expressed PD-L1. Our results demonstrate the unique immune microenvironment of myxoid liposarcomas compared to other subtypes of liposarcomas, suggesting that the approach for immunotherapy in liposarcomas should be based on subtype.
