Abstract:
A 66-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital because of a mass in the left abdomen. Ultrasonography, aortography and computed tomographic (CF) scanning revealed the mass occupying the entire left abdominal cavity and the left kidney displaced by huge and avascular mass. Also CT guided needle biopsy demonstrated liposarcoma. At operation, a huge yellow-brownish tumor found in the retroperitoneal space, was removed incompletely due to severe adhesion to the left external iliac artery The tumor was 12x11x10cm and weighed 560gm. Histologically, it was a pleomorphic type liposarcoma. She bas received adjuvant radiotherapy but recurred 10 months later.
