Abstract

Soft tissue sarcomas are rare and commonly develop in retroperitoneum. Liposarcoma is the most common amongst it. Liposarcoma accounts for at least 20% of all sarcomas in adults and up to 50% of all retroperitoneal sarcomas. Here we present a case of a giant retroperitoneal liposarcoma arising from Gerota's fascia of right kidney along with brief review of literature.
