title: [A rare case of a giant intra-abdominal mesocolic liposarcoma].
abstract: Intra-abdominal liposarcomas (IALS) represent a rare localization compared to other liposarcomatous (LS) sites such as the lower extremities and the retroperitoneum. The authors report their experience in a case of giant liposarcoma (weight: Kg 8.2) presenting a massive intra-abdominal extension. Diagnostic and therapeutic problems related to this type of neoplasm as well as a literature review are reported.
