| 3 | Giant dedifferentiated liposarcoma of the gastrocolic ligament:A case report显示文摘BACKGROUND Dedifferentiated liposarcoma(DDLS)has a worse prognosis and occurs most commonly in the retroperitoneal region and rarely in the intraperitoneal region.Histological diagnosis was revolutionized by the combined contributions of histoimmuno-chemistry and molecular biology.Aside from surgery,there is no consensus on the optimal treatment for this chemoresistant cancer.CASE SUMMARY A thirty-year-old black female presented with a large painful abdominal mass occupying nearly the entire abdomen and progressive weight loss was admitted for surgery.Abdominal computed tomography showed a large heterogeneous mass of the mesentery that was sized 18 cm×16 cm in size and had heterogeneous contrast enhancement.During laparotomy,en bloc excision of the large and multilobulated gastrocolic ligament mass was performed.The initial postoperative histopathological diagnosis was undifferentiated sarcoma.Finally,the results of immunohistochemistry and molecular biology allowed us to confirm the diagnosis of DDLS.The tumour followed an aggressive evolution with diffuse metastasis,causing the death of the patient less than 5 mo after the operation.CONCLUSION Dedifferentiated liposarcomas are rare tumours that typically originate in the retroperitoneum but may arise in unexpected locations. | Assamoi Brou Fulgence Kassi Kacou Sebastien Yenon Fian Marc Herve Kassi Adja Jacob Adjeme Khader Morel Diarra Cynthia Bombet-Kouame Marcellin Kouassi | 2023 | World Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery2023，15，10： | 0 |
