Abstract

Liposarcoma includes tumors with a wide range of malignancies, from mostly benign to malignant. We report a case of a 73 year-old man who was admitted for urination and defecation disorder. Contract computed tomography (CT) revealed a mass of approximately 21 cm occupying the pelvis, bladder, ureter, prostate, and rectum being compressed by the tumor. Since intraoperative mass bleeding was predicted, we embolized the tumor nutrition artery and performed a total pelvic exenteration. Regarding the course of the operation, SSI and pelvic infection were developed after the operation. The patient was discharged 21 days after surgery. Moreover, there is no evidence of local recurrence and distant metastasis at 18 months after surgery. Furthermore, in giant pelvic liposarcoma, it is useful to identify a nutritional artery of a giant tumor by angiography before surgery, and surgical resection can be safely done by performing preoperative transcatheter arterial embolization.
