We report a case of abdominal liposarcoma originating from peritoneum in 57-year old woman, presenting with hugeness of abdomen.

The pathologic diagnosis was well differentiated liposarcoma. After 5 months of treatment the patient is well and no problem, complication or recurrence has been reported.
