This case study highlights a benign retroperitoneal lipofibroma that posed diagnostic challenges. Intraoperative diagnosis was crucial for successful tumor resection and good patient outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Surgical Oncology
  • Gastroenterology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Retroperitoneal tumors present diagnostic challenges due to their location and varied histology.
  • Preoperative diagnostic accuracy for benign retroperitoneal masses can be limited, impacting surgical planning.

Observation:

  • A 69-year-old patient presented with a benign retroperitoneal tumor (lipofibroma).
  • Paraclinical investigations provided only orientative value, lacking definitive etiological information.
  • Significant preoperative and intraoperative diagnostic difficulties were encountered.

Findings:

  • The retroperitoneal tumor was diagnosed intraoperatively as a lipofibroma.
  • Surgical resection was successfully performed based on the intraoperative histological diagnosis.

  • The patient experienced a good postoperative recovery.

    • Implications:

    • Intraoperative diagnosis is critical for managing challenging retroperitoneal tumors.
    • This case underscores the limitations of preoperative imaging in definitively characterizing retroperitoneal masses.
    • Effective surgical management relies on adaptability and accurate intraoperative assessment.
