Abstract

A 44-year-old female patient presented to us with fever and increased abdominal girth. A CT scan showed a very large retroperitoneal mass displacing the right kidney. At operation three enormous retroperitoneal tumours displacing the ascending colon and the right kidney and compressing the inferior vena cava were removed. Histopathological examination revealed a myxoid retroperitoneal liposarcoma.
