Rare mesenteric WD liposarcoma resected in elderly patient; leaves open optimal surveillance and recurrence risk stratification.
Case Report (n=12)
Complete resection is the primary curative therapy for well-differentiated mesenteric liposarcomas, which typically present as large masses (>10 cm) in patients in their fourth to seventh decades.
Yuri et al. (2011) conducted a case report in Well-differentiated mesenteric liposarcoma (n=12). Complete resection was evaluated. Complete resection of well-differentiated mesenteric liposarcomas, which presented as tumors >10 cm in diameter in all 12 reviewed cases, is considered the primary curative therapy.
