[Retroperitoneal lipoma (with areas of myxoid degeneration)].
Retroperitoneal tumors of lipomatous origin are usually liposarcomas. Only a minority of adipose tumors of the retroperitoneum show histological criteria of benignity. We present the case of a 52-year-old woman, diagnosed of a retroperitoneal lipoma with areas of myxoid degeneration. The tumor involved the left kidney and was resected completely.
