RESUMO
Retroperitoneal liposarcomas are very infrequent retroperitoneal malignant tumours. Most patients complain of palpable abdominal mass and only half present with abdominal pain. With haematogenous spread they can reach, mainly, lungs and liver, but only in 10% of cases. Here we report the presentation and surgical treatment of a giant massive retroperitoneal liposarcoma in a 53-year-old man.
