Radical Removal of GIANT LIPOSARCOMA (tumor mass - 27 KG, 41% of patient's weight ) with Multivisceral Resection ( distal pancreatosplenectomy, left nephrectomy, left colectomy, resection of jejunum. atypical stomach resection) with following reconstruction
This young woman, 31 years old, underwent an exploratory laparotomy and was deemed inoperable in September 2023. Morphologically, a LIPOSARCOMA was confirmed. Her condition was extremely bad; she was practically condemned to death, having been declared a palliative patient. Radiological imaging revealed a giant neoplasm of the retroperitoneal space, originating from the left side.As we evaluated, the inferior vena cava and abdominal aorta were intact, and it’s a crucial issue for that kind of patient. The right kidney and its vessels were also free. The superior mesenteric vessels are also intact, and the mesentery of the small intestine was shifted to the right in iliac region Elements of the hepatoduodenal ligament are also free from malignant mass The left kidney and its vessels were completely covered by the tumor and could not be preserved. So a left nephrectomy is needed in this situation. The body of the pancreas and the spleen, as well as the splenic vessels, were completely involved in the tumor and could not be preserved either.However, the Treitz ligament and the initial segments of the jejunum were not distinguishable because of tumor involvement. Thus, resection of the proximal part of the small intestine is inevitable. Regarding the large intestine, the left sections of the mesocolon are likely involved in the tumor process, but the ascending colon and the re**um in the pelvis were well differentiated and absolutely free from tumor mass. Therefore, the radical extent of surgery in this clinical case was to remove the tumor with multivisceral resection.
SURGERY WAS PERFORMED IN APRIL 2024
