Primary mesenteric liposarcoma: An unusual presentation of a rare condition.
[pleomorphic liposarcoma]
Primary
mesenteric
liposarcoma
is
a
rare
neoplasm
.
Here
,
we
report
the
case
of
a
50
year
old
Indian
man
with
a
pleomorphic
liposarcoma
of
the
mesentery
.
The
clinical
findings
pointed
towards
a
retroperitoneal
growth
but
imaging
resolved
the
issue
.
A
laparotomy
was
performed
and
a
20
cm
×
20
cm
multilobulated
tumour
arising
from
the
mesentery
and
weighing
1
.
8
kilograms
was
excised
with
a
segment
of
jejunum
.
The
cut
surface
had
a
variegated
appearance
with
regions
of
necrosis
.
The
histological
features
were
suggestive
of
pleomorphic
liposarcoma
.
Tumour
cells
were
positive
for
S-
100
and
negative
for
SMA
/
Desmin
.
Complete
resection
is
curative
although
the
role
of
chemotherapy
remains
to
be
established
.
