“…However, lipomatous lesions >5 cm or in deep-seated locations have an increased risk of being malignant [ 8 ]. For these reasons, multidisciplinary input and additional imaging with MRI and FDG-PET assists in further characterizing the nature of the lesion, its anatomical relations and guide subsequent management [ 6 , 9 ].…”

Primary tumors of the omentum, let alone omental lipomas, are rare causes of a large intra-abdominal mass. We report a case of an adult male presenting with an intra-abdominal mass, representative of a giant omental lipoma radiologically, confirmed on histopathology after complete resection at laparotomy. The case highlights the preoperative workup of a suspected omental lipoma, including the utility of various radiological modalities in differentiating from malignant pathologies, and anatomical characterization of the lesion for surgical planning.

“…Ideally, the mass should have been removed as one whole piece with the capsule, but the capsule also had to be broken in order to remove the tumor from its infrarenal origin. In one example, Hashimoto et al described a case in which a liposarcoma was successfully resected in one piece with no signs of rupture [6].…”

Liposarcoma is a locally aggressive tumor that may originate in soft tissue sites such as the retroperitoneum or the extremities, or less frequently, from the bone. The fatty tumor may have an insidious growth pattern and be present incidentally on imaging, or it may be present with symptoms such as small bowel or ureter obstruction. The diagnosis can be confirmed post-operatively via fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) with the presence of mouse double minute 2 (MDM2) homolog protein and cyclin-dependent kinase 4 (CDK4) gene amplification. The rate of recurrence may be high depending on the subtype of liposarcoma, so it is always recommended to have the patient undergo routine imaging every six months to a year. In this case report, we present a patient who presented with a massive, incidental liposarcoma found on imaging after coming to the emergency department for lower extremity trauma.

“…PRPLS has no obvious symptoms in the early stage, and a prominent feature is a huge abdominal mass with mild symptoms. 10,11 Similarly, retroperitoneal uterine leiomyoma also presents with non-specific symptoms, but patients with these tumors always experience pain during intercourse. 12 When diagnosed, PRPLS is often in the late stage, and the corresponding symptoms appear only when the adjacent organs are compressed or when tumors gradually increase in size.…”

Primary retroperitoneal liposarcoma: a rare case report

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Primary retroperitoneal liposarcoma (PRPLS) is a rare malignant tumor with a low incidence. A 34-year-old female patient presented to our department with abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting for 2 days. Abdominal computed tomography (CT) indicated a huge mass between the liver and kidney, with a clear boundary and measuring approximately 202 mm × 155 mm ×106 mm. The mass was considered a retroperitoneal lipoma or liposarcoma. The entire tumor was completely resected without auxiliary injury, and histopathology of the resected specimen indicated liposarcoma. The patient recovered well and was discharged from our department on the 6th postoperative day. No signs of relapse were seen during 1-year of follow-up. PRPLS is rare and without obvious symptoms in the early stage. CT plays a vital role in the diagnosis of PRPLS, and surgical resection is considered the most suitable treatment. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy might also be treatment options to improve the overall survival of PRPLS patients.

Resection of liposarcoma of the greater omentum: A case report and literature review

Abstract: Highlights Intraabdominal liposarcoma including omental liposarcoma is rare. Liposarcoma can be difficult to distinguish from other lipomotous tumor. We surgically managed a case of liposarcoma of omentum ovserved as lipoma 3 years ago.
