ABSTRACT
A 55-year-old woman had been admitted to a hospital with abdominal bloating. Retroperitoneal liposarcoma was suspected and diagnosed as not resectable. She was then referred to our hospital with dyspnea and difficulties with movement due to the huge mass. An abdominal CT revealed a large mass originating in the left retroperitoneum. The tumor occupied most of the abdominal cavity, resulting in the displacement of her organs. However, there was no evidence of infiltration of the tumor into the aorta and inferior vena cava. Under a provisional diagnosis of retroperitoneal liposarcoma, a surgical resection was undertaken. The resected specimen had a maximum diameter of 48 cm and weighed 14 kg. Histopathological examination revealed a differentiated liposarcoma. The patient remains alive 6 months after the operation, without recurrence.
