TL;DR
This case report describes a rare large retroperitoneal liposarcoma in a 59-year-old man and his treatment at Binh Dan Hospital.
Contribution
The novelty lies in presenting a specific clinical case with detailed diagnostic and surgical management of a rare tumor.
Findings
The patient presented with chronic abdominal distention, back pain, and a large mass.
The tumor was diagnosed as a retroperitoneal liposarcoma and surgically removed.
Complete resection was performed, but long-term follow-up is necessary due to high recurrence risk.
Abstract
Retroperitoneal liposarcomas (RLSs) are uncommon mesenchymal tumors that might present a diagnostic challenge due to their rarity and anatomical location. Despite grossly complete resections, they are commonly linked to a high recurrence rate, necessitating long-term or indefinite follow-up. This report discusses a 59-year-old male patient referred to the Gastrointestinal Department due to chronic abdominal distention, right-sided back pain, and a sizable abdominal mass. The diagnosis was an RLS, and the patient underwent en bloc resection of the mass.
