This case study highlights multiple retroperitoneal lipomas in a woman, which displaced her left kidney. Despite surgical removal, further observation is recommended due to tumor size and characteristics.

Area of Science:

Oncology
Radiology
Pathology

Background:

Retroperitoneal lipomas are rare benign tumors.
Multiple occurrences and significant size increase diagnostic challenges.

Observation:

A 59-year-old woman presented with multiple retroperitoneal lipomas.
Significant displacement of the left kidney was noted.
Four tumors exceeded expected sizes on ultrasound (USG).

Findings:

Histological examination revealed pleomorphism in the lipomas.
Tumor multiplicity and large dimensions were confirmed.
Benign nature but with concerning features.

Implications:

Radical excision was performed.
