Overview

We present a case report of a patient with malignant retroperitoneal liposarcoma, which was initially diagnosed as a benign tumor of the lower pole of the kidney based on imaging and biopsy. Despite this, the patient underwent surgery which resulted in a definitive histological diagnosis of malignant retroperitoneal liposarcoma.

Key words:
liposarcoma, retroperitoneum, kidney, tumor biopsy.
