Abstract

We report an extremely rare case of primary liposarcoma of the greater omentum in a patient complaining of anemia and an abdominal tumor.<br> A 78-year-old woman with anemia was seen at the hospital because of general fatigue, poor appetite and abdominal distension. Abdominal ultrasonography showed a large abdominal mass. CT scan and magnetic resonance imaging presented a large heterogenous tumor in the abdomen. Angiography revealed that the right gastroepiploic artery might be a main feeding artery of the tumor.<br> The patient was diagnosed as having a sarcoma of the greater omentum and operated on. The tumor measuring 27×15cm situated on the greater omentum, neither invasion nor metastasis was seen to the adjacent organs.<br> The histopathological examination concluded that the huge tumor of the greater omentum was liposarcoma, dedifferentiated type. Liposarcoma of the greater omentum is a rare disease with a poor prognosis. The patient is strictly followed up in the clinic, as of 11 months after the operation.
