Core Tip
Core Tip: Dedifferentiated liposarcoma has a worse prognosis and occurs most commonly in a retroperitoneal location but rarely in an intraperitoneal location. Complete surgical excision with a negative microscopic margin (R0) remains the ideal treatment when the tumour is still localized. Here, we report the case of a young woman with disseminated giant dedifferentiated liposarcoma of the gastrocolic ligament. This case demonstrates the poor prognosis of dedifferentiated liposarcomas. To the best of our knowledge, a giant dedifferentiated liposarcoma of the gastrocolic ligament has not yet been reported.
