Case report detailing the surgical management of a rare giant retroperitoneal liposarcoma.
Size alone may not preclude complete resection in expert centers; leaves open formal unresectability criteria for giant well-differentiated liposarcoma.
Retroperitoneal liposarcomas are very infrequent retroperitoneal malignant tumours. Most patients complain of palpable abdominal mass and only half present with abdominal pain. With haematogenous spread they can reach, mainly, lungs and liver, but only in 10% of cases. Here we report the presentation and surgical treatment of a giant massive retroperitoneal liposarcoma in a 53-year-old man.
