Abstract

A liposarcoma is the most common soft tissue sarcoma in adults with an incidence of about 20% of all soft tissue sarcomas. Although incidence differs from a region of origination, a case arisen from mesentery has rarely been reported. We experienced a case of liposarcoma arising from the mesentery of a 51-year-old male patient. He was treated by wide excision. Histologically, the tumor was composed of a mixed well-differentiated liposarcoma with myxoid and spindle cell type.
