Objective:To investigate the perioperative alterations and management of coagulation function in patients of massive blood transfusion during retroperitoneal tumor (RT)resection.Methods:Fourty-seven RT patients at Peking University International Hospital from Jan 2016 to Dec 2021 undergoing resection with massive blood transfusion more than 20 U within 24 h were reviewed for coagulation function before and after surgery.Results:Intraoperative bleeding was 3 000-25 800 ml, 10 patients had blood loss ≥10 000 ml. During the operation, (25.3±9.9) U of red blood cells were transfused, (2 720±1 369) ml plasma transfused, and (2.4±3.3) U platelets were transfused in 6 patients. Fourty-five patients received intraoperative albumin of (79.5±46.5) g; All 47 patients received fibrinogen of (2.3±1.3) g; Prothrombin complex was given in 45 patients (1 205±807) U. Preoperative hemoglobin was statistically different compared to postoperatively and days 1, 3 and 5 ( W=1 790, P<0.001; W=1 672, P<0.001; W=1 704, P<0.001; W=1 486, P=0.004);As with platelets, the difference was also statistically significant compared to postoperative days 1, 3, and 5 ( W=2 153, P<0.001; W=2 092, P<0.001; W=1 732, P<0.001); Preoperative albumin was different compared to postoperative days 1 and 3 ( W=1 568, P<0.001; W=1 578, P<0.001,); Preoperative fibrinogen was different compared to postoperative day 1 ( W=1 964, P<0.001). PT and APTT were prolonged on postoperative days 1 and 3 ( W=628, P<0.001, W=804, P=0.023) ( W=661, P<0.001, W=796, P=0.02). Patient's preoperative fibrin degradation products and D-dimer were above the normal value and were higher on postoperative days 3 and 5 ( W=498, P<0.001, W=345, P<0.001). Conclusions:Coagulation disorders occur perioperatively in patients with massive transfusion while undergoing surgery for RT.The implementation of ratiional transfusion strategy and close postoperative survey and management of coagulation dysfunction help avoid the coagulation related morbidities.

Objective:To analyze the operative outcomes and postoperative pathological features of retroperitoneal leiomyosarcoma(RPLMS) undergoing surgeries.Methods:Medical records of RPLMS patients admitted to Peking University International Hospital from Jan 2015 through Dec 2020 were retrospectively reviewed.Results:Ninety-seven patients undergoing resectional surgeries were included in the study. Of whom, 49 cases were primary RPLMS. Others were recurrent sarcomas or sarcomas with incomplete resection in the first surgical intentions. The most frequent symptoms were abdominal pain and distention (30 cases) as well as lower back pain (23 cases). All patients underwent resectional surgeries with a R 0/R 1 rate of 84.5%. Sixty-four cases received extended surgeries with combined organs resection. External iliac artery resection with reconstruction were performed on 2 cases. And 19 patients underwent partial IVC resection in combination of sarcoma resection. The general postoperative morbidity was 26.8%, including 4 intestinal fistulas, 1 pancreatic fistula, 1 vesicovaginal fistula, 1 urinary fistula, 1 biliary fistula, 2 abdominal major bleeding, 7 IVC thrombosis, 3 gastroplegiaetc. One patient deceased within post-operative 30 d due to massive bleeding.Pathology found that spindle and pleomorphic cell types were most common subtypes of RPLMS. Conclusions:Surgery remains the mainstay in the treatment of RPLMS which often presents with atypical symptoms. Extended surgeries combining with multiple organ and major vascular resections could be only suggested in experienced sarcoma centers due to high risk of severe postoperative complications.

Objective:To summarize the experience of surgical treatment of pelvic retroperitoneal neoplasms.Methods:A total of 107 patients with pelvic retroperitoneal neoplasms underwent surgical treatment from Apr 2015 to Sep 2020. According to the neoplasm location, size, and the relationship with the surrounding tissues, individualize the surgical plan, analyze the patient's basic condition, bleeding volume, tumor size, whether it is the first operation,or combined organ resection, etc.to find out the relevant factors affecting the surgical complications.Results:The surgical route included anterior approach in 67 cases , sacrococcygeal approach in 21 cases, combined abdominal-sacral approach in 13 cases, and laparoscopy in 5 cases. Twenty-nine patients underwent combined organ resection, postoperative complications occurred in 27 patients including colorectal anastomotic leakage in 6 cases, urinary fistula in 6 cases, delayed pelvic floor healing in 6 cases, rectovaginal fistula in 3 cases, and postoperative bleeding in 2 cases. The statistical analysis show whether or not first operation is related to the occurrence of complications ( χ2=4.79, P<0.05) Conclusion:Pelvic retroperitoneal neoplasms need to be fully prepared before surgery and individualized design. Intraoperative combined bleeding control measures and combined organ resection can effectively increase the resection rate and ensure the safety of surgery.

Objective:To investigate the multiple origin of retroperitoneal liposarcoma and its postoperative prognosis.Methods:A total of 49 retroperitoneal liposarcoma patients underwent total (ipsilateral) retroperitoneal lipectomy in our center from May 2017 to December 2019 were recruited. Clinical data and the follow-up information were reviewed and the origin and prognosis were analyzed.Results:A total of 15 patients were pathologically diagnosed as multiple primary cancer (MPC), the incidence rate of retroperitoneal liposarcoma with MPC was 30.6% (15/49), while other 34 cases was non-MPC. The postoperative recurrence rates of patients with high differentiation and de-differentiation retroperitoneal liposarcoma were 31.8% and 44.4%, without significant difference ( P>0.05). The postoperative recurrence rates of MPC and non-MPC were 40.0% and 38.2%, without significant difference ( P>0.05). Five cases died within the follow-up. Conclusion:Retroperitoneal liposarcoma might origin form MPC, and total (ipsilateral) retroperitoneal lipectomy is recommended to reduce the recurrence rate.

Objective:To evaluate the clinicopathological features of primary retroperitoneal paragangliomas.Methods:Data of 24 patients with retroperitoneal paragangliomas who underwent surgical treatment in our hospital from Jan 2015 to Dec 2018 was collected and analyzed.Results:Hypertension, abdominal pain/discomfort and headache were the most common complaints while 10 patients were asymptomatic and were diagnosed accidently in routine body examination. Tumor size ranged from 3.4-13.0 cm (6.9±2.5) cm, and all the tumors were located in the vicinity of abdominal aorta and inferior vena cava. All the patients received surgical treatment. Intraoperative blood pressure fluctuations were significantly correlated with prolonged operation time, more blood loss, more blood transfusion and prolonged length of stay (all P<0.05). The median follow-up time was 29 months and 1 patient died from tumor recurrence and progression. The other patients have had a tumor free survival. Conclusions:Surgical resection was the principal treatment of primary paraganglioma. Preoperative assessment was very important for perioperative safety.

Objective:To investigate the pathogeny, diagnosis and treatment of solitary fibrous tumors of the abdomen and pelvis.Methods:Retrospective analysis was made on the clinical data of 12 SFT patients undergoing surgical resection in Peking University International Hospital from Jul 2015 to Jul 2019.Results:All patients underwent radical resection. After operation, complications in clued pelvic hemorrhage in 1 case and ureteral fistula in 1 case, all improved after conservative treatment.According to pathological and immunohistochemical results, 7 cases were MSFT and 5 cases were SFT. All patients were followed up for 2-53 months. 5 cases were recurrent, among which 1 case died of intestinal obstruction caused by tumor compression.Conclusion:The clinical manifestations of solitary fibrous tumors are mostly nonspecific.Imaging examination and puncture pathology are of great significance for preoperative diagnosis. Radical resection is an important means to improve the prognosis of patients.

Objective To investigate the expression of Aspartate Beta-Hydroxylase (ASPH) in retroperitoneal liposarcoma (RL)and evaluate its clinical significances.Methods Relevant clinical data of 69 RL cases after surgical resection were collected.The expression of ASPH in tumor tissues was detected by immunohistochemistry.The CTL epitopes of ASPH protein HLA-A2 were predicted by SYFPEITHI and NetMHCpan software.Results The overall positive rate of ASPH expression for the whole group was 81％,that for well-differentiated liposarcoma was 73％,dedifferentiated liposarcoma was 87％ (P ＜ 0.05).ASPH expression was positively correlated with the postoperative recurrence free survival rate (P ＜ 0.05).Five HLA-A2 restricted CTL epitopes (9 peptides) were screened with the method of motif prediction.Conclusions ASPH expression is positively correlated with the degree of malignancy of RL,and the ASPH expression is an independent risk factor for postoperative recurrence free survival rate of RL.Moreover,ASPH was found to have 5 HLA-A2 restricted CTL epitopes,which are expected to be used for the immunotherapy of RL.

Objective To evaluate surgical treatment for different types of tumor of the suprarenal infrahepatic segment of the inferior vena cava (IVC).Methods A retrospective analysis was made on 8cases of IVC leiomyosarcoma at the suprarenal infrahepatic IVC segment.According to the extent of tumor invasion and collateral circulations,operations included tumor resection plus inferior vena cava reconstruction or tumor resection plus right nephrectomy.Results Tumors were completly resected in all patients.Renal function recovered after operation.During a follow up of 24 mons,7 cases had no recurrence.One case with recurrence after 12 months underwent successful resection and is doing well after a follow-up of 12 months.Conclusion CT and inferior vena cavography can determine the extent of tumor invasion and collateral circulations helping select appropriate surgical aproach before the operation resulting in less renal injury.

Objective To review the clinical features,therapeutic approach and prognosis of hepatocellular adenoma(HCA)and liver adenomatosis(LA).Methods The clinical data from patients with histopathological diagnosis confirmed on operative specimens were analyzed retrospectively.Results There were 10 patients with HCA and 1 with LA.The disease was found mainly in females (n=7,63.6％),and only one female patient with LA had a history of use of oral contraceptive.The median age at presentation was 33 years(range,25-70 years).Most patients(n=8,72.7％)had no significant symptom.Tumor markers including CA19-9 and alpha fetoprotein(AFP)were normal.On dynamic ultrasonography,CT and MRI,most lesions showed contrast enhancement in the arterial phase and washout in the portal venous phase and delayed phase.For the 10 patients with HCA,the lesion was solitary.On histopathology,atypia and dysplasia were present in 1 patient,dysplasia in 1 patient,and active tumor cell growth in 1 patient.The patients with liver adenomatosis had multiple lesions and atypia.All patients underwent liver resection.There was no recurrence on follow-up which ranged from 21 to 125 months.Conclusions Most patients had no clinical symptoms.Hepatic steato sis may be a potential cause for HCA and LA.Oral contraceptive plays an important role in the patho genesis of LA.Dynamic imaging examinations were helpful for diagnosis.In view of the associated risks of hemorrhage and malignant transformation,surgical resection is the optimal treatment.The prognosis is good.
