Key result
Complete surgical resection of abdominal liposarcoma shows ~88% recurrence-free survival despite positive margins.
Why the study?
Clinical features, management, and outcomes of well-differentiated abdominal liposarcoma cases at a tertiary care center were presented to inform treatment approaches.

Does complete surgical resection without radiotherapy improve survival in patients with well-differentiated abdominal liposarcoma?
Complete surgical resection without adjacent organ resection (in the absence of macroscopic invasion) or radiotherapy may be sufficient for well-differentiated abdominal liposarcoma.
Karadayı et al. (2015) conducted a case report in Abdominal liposarcoma (n=8). Surgical resection was evaluated on Recurrence and survival. Complete surgical resection of well-differentiated abdominal liposarcoma resulted in no recurrence in 7 of 8 patients over a median 21-month follow-up, despite positive surgical margins in 75% of cases.
