A Case of a Giant Liposarcoma at Binh Dan Hospital.

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.

Massive, Retroperitoneal, Well-Differentiated Liposarcoma in Second-Trimester Pregnancy: A Report of a Rare Case.

Retroperitoneal liposarcoma during pregnancy is rare and poses significant diagnostic challenges, even for experienced specialists. We present a case report of a 27-year-old female patient, 15 weeks pregnant, who was admitted to the hospital due to a massive retroperitoneal liposarcoma. The patient underwent surgical resection of the tumor. Postoperative pathology confirmed a diagnosis of well-differentiated liposarcoma. Although liposarcoma during pregnancy is rare and challenging to diagnose, CT or MRI plays a crucial role in its detection. The recurrence rate depends on the pathological stage, histological grade, and ability to resect the tumor.
