  • Title: Retroperitoneal liposarcoma extending into the thigh.
    Author: Salemis NS, Nisotakis K, Patouras P, Karagkiouzis G, Gourgiotis S.
    Journal: Am J Surg; 2011 May; 201(5):e38-40. PubMed ID: 21545897.
    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.
