Key result
Surgical resection successfully treats two rare cases of primary mesenteric well-differentiated liposarcoma without major complications.
Why the study?
Liposarcoma is a rare tumor whose management is challenging due to the lack of characteristic symptoms and established effective treatments.
Case Report (n=2)
Surgical resection was successful in treating two rare cases of primary mesenteric liposarcoma.
Supports resection feasibility in rare mesenteric liposarcoma; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Liposarcoma is a rare tumor that can be treated by surgery in the absence of distant metastases. Management of liposarcoma, including diagnosis and therapy, is challenging because it has no characteristic symptoms and no established effective treatment. Here, we report two rare cases of primary mesenteric liposarcoma. In the first case, the tumor caused small bowel obstruction, and the patient presented with abdominal distention and severe abdominal pain. The second case is an occasional finding that occurred during laparoscopic surgery for incisional hernia. Both patients underwent successful resection of the tumor. Histopathology found a well-differentiated liposarcoma in both cases.

Poillucci et al. (2021) conducted a case report in Primary mesenteric liposarcoma (n=2). Surgical resection was evaluated on Tumor resection and histopathological diagnosis. Surgical resection was successfully performed in two rare cases of primary mesenteric well-differentiated liposarcoma, with both patients recovering without major complications.
