Tumors originating from soft tissues are uncommon, among these tumors, liposarcomas are the most frequent. These tumors remain asymptomatic for a long time, and only revealing themselves when they reach an important size. In such cases, treatment is difficult, requiring extensive surgery procedures that can excise several adjacent structures, potentially completed by adjuvant radiotherapy. Despite successful treatment, the recurrence rate remains very high. We report the case of a giant liposarcoma requiring a monobloc extensive resection involving the removal of the tumor, left kidney, left adrenal gland, and a portion of the posterior abdominal wall.
