Key result
Extensive monobloc resection manages giant retroperitoneal liposarcoma by removing the tumor, kidney, and adrenal gland.
Why the study?
Liposarcomas often remain asymptomatic until reaching an important size, making treatment difficult and requiring extensive surgical resection of adjacent structures despite a very high recurrence rate.
Comparison

Demonstrates feasibility of extensive multivisceral resection in one giant retroperitoneal liposarcoma case; hypothesis-generating and should not change practice.
Case Report (n=1)
Giant retroperitoneal liposarcomas may require extensive monobloc resection involving adjacent organs for successful removal.
Achour et al. (2024) conducted a case report in Giant retroperitoneal liposarcoma (n=1). Monobloc extensive resection was evaluated. A giant retroperitoneal liposarcoma was managed with a monobloc extensive resection involving the removal of the tumor, left kidney, left adrenal gland, and posterior abdominal wall.
