[Liposarcoma arising from the renal capsule].
Liposarcoma is one of the most common soft tissue sarcomas, but liposarcoma arising from the renal capsule is rare. We report a case of liposarcoma arising from the renal capsule. Preoperative diagnosis was achieved by computerized tomography and and selective renal angiography. The tumor resected with he left kidney which weighed 4,370 g. Postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy with cyclophosphamide, bleomycin, actinomycin D, adriamycin and vinblastine was carried out. Although the patient's general conditions was fine, local recurrence occurred after 24 months postoperatively. Five cases of liposarcoma arising from the renal capsule including our case have been reported in Japan.
