| Popis: | Liposarcoma is the most common soft tissue sarcoma and accounts for 15%–20% of all mesenchymal malignancies. The tumor occurs most frequently in the limbs, retroperitoneum and rarely has a visceral location. We report a case of a gastric liposarcoma in a male patient who was admitted to hospital for abdominal discomfort and feeling fullness lasting for a month. The CT examination revealed a giant epigastric mass (36 cm × 34 cm) involving the wall of the stomach. A subtotal gastrectomy together was performed. The histopathological diagnosis was a myxoid liposarcoma. The patient did not undergo any adjuvant treatment. He was under close follow up and nine months after surgery he represented with tumor recurrence. We report this case due to the rarity of this tumor in the stomach (fifteen cases reported in the literature). |
