Hello and welcome to HCM,
The biopsy of the intra-abdominal mass shows presence of collagen, fibrous tissue, inflammatory cells, granulation tissue and abscesses.
along with these normal structures and cells, there is presence of atypical cells which are suspicious of being lipoblasts.
Lipoblasts are immature adipose tissue cells or fat cells.
Presence of these cells are suggestive of malignant tumor of adipose tissue.
You need to consult your treating doctor for further management.
Thanks and take care
