چکیده
A 47-year-old woman was referred to our hospital for the management of her large abdominal mass. She had a history of right flank pain off and on for 2-3 years. She was admitted to the provincial hospital in the previous four days due to right flank pain and nausea. She had no history of trauma. Abdominal computed tomography (CT) was performed and liposarcoma was suspected in the right flank. She was pale and was found to have an ill-defined 14x17 cm mass with mild tenderness in the right flank. Her blood pressure and pulse was 130/80 mm Hg and 80/minute, and body temperature was 36.5 o C. Laboratory investigations were: hemoglobin 6.2 g/dL, hematocrit 20.3%, white blood cell count 9.6x103/mm 3 and creatinine 1 mg/dl. Urinalysis revealed red blood cell 1-2 while white blood cell 8-12 in the high power field.
