  • Title: [Rapid growing liposarcoma in retroperitoneum].
    Author: Engel LE, Mynster T.
    Journal: Ugeskr Laeger; 2008 Sep 29; 170(40):3149-50. PubMed ID: 18823612.
    Abstract:
    A 36-year-old male was admitted with a giant abdominal tumour and dyspnoea from thoracic displacement. Symptoms were one year of haemorrhoids, but complaints of growing abdomen presented only for 10 weeks. Ultrasound could not differentiate tumour from the liver, but MR scan could. A 24.2 kg inhomogeneous tumour adhesive to the right kidney capsule was removed in toto from retroperitoneum. Histological diagnosis: Sclerosing, low differentiated liposarcoma. Besides radical surgery only radiation therapy may have effect in treatment of retroperitoneal soft tissue sarcomas.
