    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To report a new case of giant retroperitoneal mass with silent beginning. METHODS: We present the case of a 36 year old man with a giant retroperitoneal liposarcoma 35 × 15 cm in size. The only symptom was a one month history of minimal abdominal pain. CONCLUSION: Liposarcoma is the most frequent retroperitoneal mass. In most of the cases clinical symptoms are silent, being this the reason why diagnosis is late and the size is large. The best image options are CT scan or MRI but final diagnosis is based on pathology results. Its treatment is surgery and relapse is very usual.
