Abstract

Treatment management of giant retroperitoneal localized liposarcoma

Abstract

Liposarcoma is a tumor that reaches large diameters inside soft tissue tumors. It is rare. It is more common in people between the ages of 40-60. Liposacoma patients are mostly asymptomatic, so their diagnosis may be delayed.
A 65-year-old female patient was admitted to our clinic. She had complaints of mass and pain in her abdomen. Abdominal examination revealed a mass extending to the pelvic area. The patient was evaluated by examination and radiology. Retroperitoneal liposarcoma diagnosed. Since the mass captured the left colon and kidney, the patient underwent left nephrectomy and left hemicolectomy. After histological and immunohistochemical examination, the patient was diagnosed with well-differentiated liposarcoma. The patient was evaluated with abdominal and pelvic computed tomography at the postoperative 4th month. No recurrence was observed in computed tomography scans. With the review of the literature, we found that the giant well-differentiated liposarcoma case extending into the pelvic region was scarce.
In this study, a rare case with giant well-differentiated liposarcoma that fills the abdomen almost completely is presented and the clinical features and surgical management of these tumors are discussed.
