EN

Liposarcomas are rare neoplasms most often localized in the retroperitoneal space. Due to there localization, slow growth, and long latency period they often attain large sizes, infiltrating surrounding tissues and organs, before being diagnosed.The study presented the case analysis, diagnostics, multistage surgical treatment and chemotherapy and recurrence rate, as a consequence of the primary tumors' properties. Surgery remains the main method of treatment considering patients' diagnosed with liposarcomas.The role of chemotherapy in the management of the above-mentioned remains an unsolved issue.
