title: [Retroperitoneal liposarcoma. Apropos of 3 cases].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Three additional cases of retroperitoneal liposarcoma are described, with special reference to the diagnostic utility of CT, although the definitive diagnosis can only be established anatomopathologically.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Three cases of retroperitonel liposarcoma are described. Two patients had complained of the presence of an abdominal mass and discomfort and one patient had referred colic pain.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The prognosis of retroperitoneal liposarcoma is closely related to the histological type and involvement of the adjacent structures. The most common clinical feature is the sensation of an abdominal mass and discomfort.
