RESUMO
Retroperitoneal lipoma probably constitute the group of the most massive solid abdominal tumors; their etiology is unknown; their symptoms insidious; and recurrence and sarcomatous change frequent. The clinical diagnosis was made by clinical symptoms, physical findings and radiologic evaluation such as intravenous urography, ultrasonography, computed tomography, angiography and so on. Abdominal CF scan provided clinically the most useful information regarding the state of tumors and also their effect on adjacent structures and shows homogenous appearing fat tissue with a low attenuation coefficient identical to that found in the subcutaneous fat. We present a case of treatment for a huge retroperitoneal lipoma in a 46-year-old man.
