Dedifferentiated retroperitoneal large liposarcoma and laparoscopic treatment: Is it possible and safe? The first literature case report

ConclusionA retroperitoneal mass represents a serious diagnostic challenge. The choice of the best surgical procedure can benefit to the patient prognosis.

However, we have no randomized controlled trials that compare laparoscopic versus open resection for retroperitoneal liposarcomas.
