ABSTRACT

Introduction: soft-tissue sarcomas are exceedingly rare, accounting for < 1% of all adult malignancies. Sarcomatous tumors are located within the retroperitoneum in < 10% of cases. Case report: 51-year-old male, with no history, with a three-month history of moderate diffuse abdominal pain, without asthenia, adynamic, anorexia, or weight loss, detecting a large abdominal mass, the computed tomography showed a retroperitoneal mass of 33 × 29 × 23 cm. Surgery was performed for its total removal, corresponding to fibrosarcoma with a weight of 13,800 g. Conclusions: standard treatment has become upfront primary surgical resection for most subtypes. Radiation and systematic therapy have a limited role.
