Giant mixed type retroperitoneal liposarcoma

Retroperitoneal liposarcoma is a rare tumour that often presents late due to its indolent nature and large potential growing space. Total resection is the aim, including adjacent organs if necessary. Recurrence is common, and 5-year disease-free interval is not regarded as a cure. We present a case of a 57 year old man who had a 17 kg liposarcoma surgically excised.
