Abstract:
The authors describe a case of a giant retroperitoneal liposarcoma that extended into the thigh along the course of the iliopsoas muscle. The tumor was successfully excised en bloc through an abdominal and a proximal thigh incision. Histopathologic examination revealed a well-differentiated, lipoma-like liposarcoma with clear surgical margins. The patient remains well without any evidence of tumor recurrence 18 months after surgery.
