“…A RLS tumor that encases the kidney is a relative indication for nephrectomy. In this case, kidney conservation may be attempted but there is always a risk of incomplete resection [11,12] . Some authors reported an en-bloc resection of the RLS with kidney and showed that there was no histologic tumoral involvement of the kidney [13,14] as was the case of our patient.…”

Background Liposarcoma originating from peripancreatic fat tissue is extremely rare. This case report presents a surgical case of a giant liposarcoma originating from peripancreatic fat tissue with origin identification using 3-Dimensional Computed Tomography Angiography (3D-CTA). Case presentation A 59-year-old female was referred to our hospital with a giant abdominal tumor. Computed tomography revealed a 34 cm tumor composed of fatty tissue, exerting pressure on the posterior aspect of the pancreas. Suspecting liposarcoma, we planned for surgery. At first, the tumor appeared to be intra-abdominal tumor, based on the identification of the tumor’s feeding artery as a branch of the dorsal pancreatic artery using 3D-CTA, we concluded that the liposarcoma originated from the peripancreatic fat tissue and situated in the retroperitoneum. During surgery, we observed a well-capsulated, elastic, yellowish mass without infiltration into surrounding tissues. We carefully dissected the tumor from the greater omentum and transverse mesocolon while preserving the tumor capsule. We ligated the feeding artery at the border with the pancreatic parenchyma and successfully completed the excision of the tumor. The resected specimen weighted 2620 g and was pathologically diagnosed as a well-differentiated liposarcoma. There was no injury to the tumor’s capsule, and the surgical margins were negative. Conclusions In this report, we present an extremely rare case of a liposarcoma originating in the peripancreatic fat tissue. The use of 3D-CTA was instrumental in identifying the primary site of this giant tumor, enabling us to guide the surgery and achieve complete resection successfully.
