Implication

Confirms G-CSF-secreting mesenteric liposarcoma as leukocytosis cause; hypothesis-generating for similar paraneoplastic presentations.

Structured PICO

Population

A 77-year-old female presenting with pyrexia, a right retroperitoneal mass, and a pelvic mass (mesenteric liposarcoma).

Intervention

Laparotomy with removal of the tumors.

Outcome

Normalization of white blood cell count and serum G-CSF concentrations.surrogate

This case report describes a rare instance of a mesenteric liposarcoma producing G-CSF, causing leukocytosis and pyrexia that resolved upon surgical resection.
