ABSTRACT
A large retroperitoneal tumor [10kg] was excised from a 50 year old lady who presented to the Medical Outpatients' Department with abdominal enlargement. Retroperitoneal liposarcoma is a rare soft-tissue sarcoma which commonly presents as a painless abdominal mass. Diagnosis is usually by computerised tomography and histological examination. It has a poor prognosis and a high recurrence rate. Wide local surgical excision is the optimal therapy
