Primary retroperitoneal liposarcoma: A case report and review of the literature

We report a case of a 43 years old woman with a retroperitoneal liposarcoma located in the left iliac fossa. The condition was discovered because of the association of left flank pain, abdominal distention and persistent urinary infection with symptoms of vesical irritation. The diagnosis was suggested by intravenous pyelography (IVP), abdominal and pelvic ultrasonography (USG) and computed tomography (CT). Treatment was exclusively surgical. During a six-month follow-up, no recurrence was observed.
