Retroperitoneal liposarcoma is a rare malignancy arises from perirenal fat comprises of 0.02 to 0.2% of all malignancies and 10-20% of all soft tissue sarcomas. [1,2,3] Usual age presentation is 5-6 th decade of age with slight male predominance. [4] These tumors are usually large, in 20% of patients the tumor is more than 10cms size. [5,6] The liposarcoma may have weight and dimension variable; those over 20 kg are called “giant liposarcomas” and are extremely rare. [1,5] Complete surgical resection [R0] is the only way for survival advantage. [7,8,9] We report a case of huge retroperitoneal liposarcoma, which of size of 30><25><20cms and 8kg weight.
