Liposarcoma (LPS) is the most prevalent soft tissue sarcoma; among the four different LPS subtypes, dedifferentiated liposarcoma (DDLPS) is especially worrisome given its propensity for local and distant recurrence, with an overall survival rate of only 10% at 10 years. Our understanding of the molecular drivers of this disease is rudimentary at best; knowledge about how DDLPS interacts with cells in the tumor microenvironment (TME) is also lacking. Extracellular vesicle (EVs) have been studied in a number of different systems concerning their ability to influence the TME transferring bioactive molecules. In this review, we outline the role of the TME in the DDLPS progression and recurrence, focusing on the interplay between EVs released from the tumor and their target recipient cells in the TME. Success in the understanding of this process will be critical to an enhanced understanding of the underlying biologic drivers at play, potentially leading to new therapeutic strategies of benefit to patients with this disease.
