ABSTRACT
@#Primary omental liposarcoma is a rare clinical entity with less than 20 cases being reported in the literature. Laparotomy has been the traditional approach for resection, with no reports of laparoscopic resection. A 39-year-old lady presented at the Sarawak General Hospital, Kuching, Malaysia with a history of a progressive, painless left upper quadrant abdominal swelling for a year. CT scan showed a well-defined heterogeneously enhancing cystic mass measuring 7.5x7.5x8.1cm with a poor plane with the adjacent greater curvature of stomach and transverse colon. Upper and lower endoscopy was normal. The tumour was completely dissected from the adjacent transverse colon and removed laparoscopically. Histopathological examination of the resected specimen revealed a myxoid liposarcoma. She had an uneventful recovery and was discharged well on the third postoperative day. She subsequently underwent adjuvant chemotherapy and was well at 1-year follow-up with PET CT showing no evidence of recurrence or metastases.
