Retroperitoneal sarcomas are rare neoplasms that account for only 1%-2% of all solid tumors and 5% of primary retroperitoneal liposarcomas are reported as myxoid or round cell liposarcoma [1]. We report the case of a 60-year-old male with a retroperitoneal myxoid liposarcoma of 22 × 15 × 8 cm in size. The only symptoms were persistent pain and progressive tenderness of the abdomen lasting for two months. The mass was radically excised during laparotomy. CT and MRI were useful to clarify the site of origin of the tumor but final diagnosis was based on histological findings.
