Successful resection of a retroperitoneal giant sarcoma: a case report

Abstract

Successful surgical resection of a giant 38 kilogram retroperitoneal sarcoma was performed in a 52 year old patient. Soft tissue sarcomas represent a heterogeneous group of rare tumors arising from the mesenchymal cells of the connective tissue. The diagnosis is frequently made later in the progress of the disease due to the absence of specific symptomatology. Surgery with total resection of the tumor is the treatment of choice, but is an option in only 38 to 75% of cases [1]. Successful operative resection can grant prolonged disease free survival and cure for retroperitoneal sarcomas.
