Primary mesenteric liposarcoma successfully diagnosed by preoperative imaging studies

Abstract

Liposarcoma is one of the most common primary neoplasms in the retroperitoneum, whereas primary mesenteric liposarcomas are rare (1). We encountered a case of liposarcoma, which arose from the mesentery of the jejunum that was diagnosed by imaging studies before surgical operation. © 2007 The Japanese Society of Internal Medicine.
