Abstract

Retroperitoneal sarcomas are rare tumors, having an annual incidence of 0.3 to 0.4 new cases per 100,000 occupants. R0 resection is the cornerstone of therapy, with local control being integral for a favorable prognosis. We present a case of giant retroperitoneal liposarcoma treated with complete surgical resection.
