Abstract
- Liposarcoma is one of the most common soft tissue sarcoma of adult life. Among soft tissue sarcoma its incidence ranges from 10% to 12%, and its two major sites are the extremities and the retroperitoneum. Liposarcoma is remarkable because of its frequent large size, variable histological picture, and high recurrent rate. We report a case of recurrent retroperitoneal liposarcoma in a 38-year-old woman who was treated with radical nephrectomy including tumor excision in August 1988. Four and half years after the first operation, she was diagnosed as recurrent retroperitoneal liposarcoma and treated by tumor excision. Six months after the second operation, presented with the second recurrent retroperitoneal tumor, she underwent tumor excision and radiation therapy and she is under being followed up.
