Lipoblast
A lipoblast is a precursor cell for an adipocyte.[1]
Alternate terms include adipoblast[2] and preadipocyte.[3]
Early stages are almost indistinguishable from fibroblasts.[4]

Liposarcoma
Lipoblasts are seen in liposarcoma[5] and characteristically have abundant multivacuolated clear cytoplasm and a dark staining (hyperchromatic), indented nucleus.
gollark: That's not automated.
gollark: Since you can't really detect any "offensive" thing automatically. Which is probably fortunate, on the whole.
gollark: r/place, if you actually were to moderate it.
gollark: That would require a ton of manual moderation anyway, probably.
gollark: My python/JS projects work *perfectly fine*, because nobody uses them.
