This 49-year-old woman presented with slowly
progressive, asymptomatic abdominal swelling of one year’s duration. Six yearsearlier, she had undergone resection of a retroperitoneal liposarcoma. On
examination, her abdomen was incredibly enlarged, rock-hard, andnontender.
Computed tomography showed numerous non-homogeneous
masses of varying density compressing and displacing but not invading contiguousabdominal and retroperitoneal organs (image below). At celiotomy, most of the
neoplastic tissue was removed in three large blocks totaling 100 lbs! Thehistopathologic diagnosis was well-differentiated liposarcoma. Patients with
this cell type can have a five-year survival rate as high as 80%, while in thosewith poorly differentiated lesions, survival drops to 20% or less. This patient
survived for a total of nine years, ultimately succumbing to widespreadmetastases.
