ACROMEGALY AND A GIANT RETROPERITONEAL LIPOSARCOMA PRODUCING IGF-1.

Objective: Liposarcoma is the most common histotype of retroperitoneal sarcomas, representing up to 45% of all cases. We report a rare combination of acromegaly and liposarcoma in the same individual.

Methods: Laboratory and imaging studies including an oral glucose tolerance test, measurements of growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), and a computed tomography scan were performed.

We describe a 50-year-old female without significant past medical or family history and no previous trauma presented with left heel pain that prompted her to seek medical attention.
