“…Such tumours do not display the typical malignant characteristics of invasion and infiltration. 4 Similar findings were seen in this case, although unlike Evola et al, 9 areas of fatty attenuation were significantly lesser, an unusual finding in the context of the tumour's grade.…”

“…8 In the case of this patient, the tumour analysis indicated a well-differentiated subtype, which meant a good prognosis histologically. Tumours of similar grade have been previously described by Evola et al, 9 and Wang et al 7 CT imaging has a role in both assessment and grading of liposarcomas. Well-differentiated tumours tend to display a high attenuation of fat and minimal soft tissue components, calcifications, and nodular enhancing septations.…”

Retroperitoneal liposarcomas are rare malignant tumours that often grow rapidly in size and become symptomatic late in the disease course, posing diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. Although abdominal imaging can reliably diagnose the tumour, definitive diagnosis is only possible through biopsy after surgical excision, which remains the primary treatment modality for these tumours. Long-term survival is primarily determined through histologic grade and post-resection tumour margins. We report the case of a 43-year-old male patient, seen at Dr Ruth KM Pfau Hospital Karachi, who underwent successful surgical excision for a well-differentiated retroperitoneal liposarcoma and had no radiographic evidence of local recurrence at both 3 and 12-month follow-ups. Keywords: Retroperitoneal liposarcoma, surgical excision, tumour recurrence, tumour grade.
