Περίληψη:
Liposarcomas constitute rare malignant tumors of the soft tissue,with
wide anatomical distribution. The prompt diagnosis of a liposarcoma is
extremely challenging since these tumors tend to remain asymptomatic,
until they grow enough to displace adjacent anatomical structures. In
the presented case, a 55-year-old Caucasian male proceeded to our
institution complaining about irreducible swelling of the right iliac
fossa and constant discomfort, over the course of a year. His medical
history revealed injury of the right groin and pelvis a year ago. The
diagnosis was ilioinguinal liposarcoma masquerading as hematoma, due to
the previous injury.The patient underwent primary complete tumor
resection, and the operation was uneventful.The essential diagnostic and
surgical steps for the management of a liposarcoma,mimicking a hematoma
are meticulously described.
