Popis:	People suffering from extreme obesity may be exposed to delayed diagnosis and treatment of cancer. A 37-year-old woman (weight = 245 kg, body mass index (BMI) = 79 kg/m2), presented a sepsis associated with nonspecific abdominal pain for 4 months. After several unsuccessful attempts due to her weight and a large waist circumference, abdominal CT scan was finally successfully performed and showed a large retroperitoneal mass. An ultrasound-guided core needle biopsy was performed and was in favor of a liposarcoma. Surgery was performed to remove the entire tumor of an estimated weight of 98 kg, a giant retroperitoneal dedifferentiated liposarcoma. This case highlights the difficulties to screen, diagnose, and manage cancers encountered in patients suffering from massive obesity.
