Abstract
Retroperitoneal liposarcomas are uncommon malignancy accounting for 0.15% of all malignancies. The overall survival and prognosis is predominantly based on the total completeness of resection i.e. margin status and the histopathologic grade of the tumour. The retroperitoneal sarcomas usually present late in the disease course and often develops local invasion of the vital structures at the time of clinical presentation which makes resection with clear margins difficult and challenging. Here we present a case of Giant dedifferentiated liposarcoma arising from retroperitoneum.
