Key result
A 6 kg retroperitoneal liposarcoma in a 42-year-old woman illustrates that these rare tumors require radical excision, though frequent local recurrence results in a poor prognosis.
Case report describing a rare, large (6 kg) retroperitoneal liposarcoma in a 42-year-old woman.
Alerts clinicians to liposarcoma in large retroperitoneal masses; leaves open optimal strategies to prevent recurrence.
A large retroperitoneal liposarcoma (6 kg) is described in a 42-year-old woman. Retroperitoneal tumours are rare, produce nonspecific symptoms, and are often extensive when diagnosed. The main treatment of these tumours is radical excision, but the tendency to local recurrence makes the prognosis poor.
