Abstract

Sarcomas of the retropehtoneum represent 0.2% of tumors and 15% of soft tissue sarcomas. Retro peritoneal differentiated liposarcoma must be distinguished from the connective neoplasm of kidney. The main features of these tumors are: the rapid growth, ‘infiltration of surrounding tissue, the tendency to local relapse and very fast metastasis (60–80%). Authors report a clinical case of a patient 61 old years with occasional reflected ultrasound is performed for lombar pain a retro peritoneal mass. CT described a retro peritoneal mass that raised medially and displaced the left kidney. The patient was subjected to removal of the mass now to his kidney capsule, which was nevertheless preserved. The histological examination showed a picture of well-differentiated liposarcoma with areas of high-grade sarcoma with malignant morphology fibroistiocitoma-like aspects and fibromixomatosi. The well-differentiated liposarcoma has biological behavior similar to other sarcomas with high degree of adults with high local recurrence and distant metastases in 15–20% with overall mortality at 5 years about 30%. The most significant prognostic factor is the location of the cancer and the extent and degree of differentiation did not impact on the clinical prognosis is conditioned by the difficulty of obtaining a radical surgery in spite linfoadenectomia a retro peritoneal accurate.
