Retroperitoneal liposarcoma, Enbloc resectionAbstract
Retroperitoneal liposarcomas are amongst the commonest soft tissue sarcomas in the retroperitoneum. They can reach enormous sizes before presentation to a hospital. Contrast-enhanced CT scan is of utmost importance in estimating the location, extent, and depth of the malignancy. An image-guided biopsy can be of great help in the planning of treatment plans and in clinically equivocal cases. Complete Ro resection is of paramount importance in treating this aggressive disease entity. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy in the pre-operative stage can help in sensitive tumors. Molecular therapies are in the trial phase to strengthen treatment options. Here we present an interesting case, discuss its management and provide a literature review.
