Abstract

Soft tissue sarcomas comprise 1% of adultho-od tumors, and about 10-20% of them are located in the retroperitoneum. Retroperitoneal liposar-comas are rarely seen malignancies with poor prognosis. They remain asymptomatic unless they grow up to extremely large sizes. The exten-sive surgical resection of these tumors may ne-cessitate the resection of various organs involved with the tumor. Herein, we report a rarely seen entity, with agressive clinical progress by revie-wing the literature.

Key Words: retroperitoneum, undifferantia-ted liposarcoma, radical resection
