J Surg Oncol. 1984 Aug;26(4):260-7. doi: 10.1002/jso.2930260412.

Abstract

This report describes six cases of liposarcoma. The primary sites were the retroperitoneum in three cases, the lower extremity in two cases and the jejunal mesenterium in one case. One retroperitoneum case had the heaviest liposarcoma (40 kg) that has been reported in the literature. One patient with thigh liposarcoma who developed three recurrences and underwent hemipelvectomy has been free from the disease for the past 6 1/2 years. Histologically, all three retroperitoneum cases showed well-differentiated liposarcoma and two lower extremity cases had myxoid type liposarcoma.
