Laparoscopic resection of a retroperitoneal liposarcoma: a case report and review of the literature.

[well-differentiated liposarcoma]

Here , we describe a case of a retroperitoneal liposarcoma successfully managed by laparoscopic surgery . A 72 -year -old man underwent abnormal hypertension screening using computed tomography (CT ), which revealed a low -density mass measuring 7 cm in diameter in the retroperitoneal space . We diagnosed the mass as a liposarcoma before the operation . The mass was resected laparoscopically . No perioperative complications were encountered , and the patient was discharged on the fourth postoperative day . The pathologic diagnosis was well-differentiated liposarcoma , indicating complete surgical resection . Thus , we conclude that a laparoscopic approach for the patients with retroperitoneal tumors , including liposarcomas , is safe , feasible , and minimally invasive , even if there is a possibility of the tumor being malignant .
