Abstract
Recently, we have experienced a successfully resected case of huge liposarcoma arising in the left perinephrium.
The case was a 70-year-old man who complained of abdominal distention and wa diagnoed to have an abdominal tumor by a near practitioner. In November 1986, he was admitted to our hospital to undergo operation. Simple X-ray examination of the abdomen, urography, ultrasonography of the abdomen, and CT indicated a retroperitoneal tumor arising in adipoe tissues. Operation revealed that a tumor was located in the left retroperitoneal cavity and invaded the left kidney, left adrenal, and left renal arteries and veins. Hitopathologically, the tumor was a well-differenciated liposarcoma of the mixture involving lipoma-like type and sclerosing one.
