Retroperitoneal Giant Liposarcoma

چکیده
Retroperitoneal liposarcoma is an infrequent, locally aggressive malignancy. We report two cases of huge retroperitoneal liposarcomas. The presence of a palpable abdominal mass was a common symptom of the two patients. Preoperative imaging study showed huge retroperitoneal tumors. Both patients underwent complete surgical resections, and a negative microscopic margin was achieved in both cases. The histopathologic diagnosis was a well-differentiated retroperitoneal liposarcoma. Neither of the two patients developed a recurring tumor during the 1.5 years of follow-up.

[Giant retroperitoneal liposarcoma].
The authors report a case of giant retroperitoneal liposarcoma. The diagnosis was suspected after scanography and magnetic resonance imaging and confirmed by the histological analysis of the extracted piece after surgical treatment. Postoperative evolution was favourable after one year without recurrence or distant metastasis. The authors discuss the pathologic and therapeutic aspects and the p...
متن کاملAnesthetic management of a patient with giant retroperitoneal liposarcoma: case report with literature review.
Patients with giant retroperitoneal liposarcomas are considered at great risks of perioperative complications and require meticulous anaesthetic management. There have been few reports about anaesthetic management of giant retroperitoneal liposarcoma. We present the case of a 66-year-old patient who suffered from a giant retroperitoneal liposarcoma (diameter 45 cm and weigh 4.5 kg), needing a r...
متن کاملA Giant Retroperitoneal Liposarcoma Encasing the Entire Left Kidney and Adherent to Adjacent Structures: A Case Report
Retroperitoneal liposarcoma is a rare tumor. The dimension and weight of liposarcoma are variable; those over 20 kg are called 'giant liposarcoma'. Herein, we report giant retroperitoneal liposarcoma measuring 45 cm in diameter and 25 kg in weight encasing the entire left kidney and adherent to adjacent structures. A 71-year-old woman presented for a regular checkup. Image study revealed a huge...
متن کاملGiant Retroperitoneal Mucinous Tumor Supportively Diagnosed as a Dedifferentiated Liposarcoma by Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization of MDM2 Gene
Surgical resection was performed on a 47-year-old woman for a retroperitoneal mass that weighed 8.5 kg. Histological examination revealed a myxoid sarcomatous tumor. Because diagnosis could not be determined by immunohistochemistry, attention was focused on MDM2 (murine double minute) gene amplification by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis. The tumor was finally determined to b...

BACKGROUND The peak prevalence of retroperitoneal liposarcoma (RPLS) is between the age of 40 to 70 years, usually seen in male 1.43:1. RPLS during pregnancy is extremely rare and a challenge for both the surgeon and the pregnant woman. CASE PRESENTATION A 27-year-old woman was discovered to have a giant retroperitoneal tumor incidentally during her routine obstetric examination at 16 weeks o...
