We report the case of a 67-year-old male with epigastric pain and weight loss during the last nine months. Physical examination revealed a hard palpable mass in the epi-mesogastrium.

Article Synopsis
- - Dedifferentiated liposarcoma (DDL) is a rare and aggressive subtype typically found in the retroperitoneum, with challenging diagnostics, especially when it occurs in the mesentery as documented in very few cases.
- - A 76-year-old woman was discovered to have a large mesenteric mass incidentally while being treated for pneumonia, leading to surgery where a tumor adherent to the intestine was removed and identified as intermediate-grade DDL.
- - The case emphasizes the need to include mesenteric DDL in the differential diagnosis of large abdominal masses, highlighting that complete surgical resection is crucial for treatment, alongside regular follow-ups due to its aggressive nature.

Article Synopsis
- - Extraosseous Ewing sarcoma (EES) is a rare type of cancer that often mimics intestinal issues, primarily causing symptoms like intestinal obstruction, abdominal pain, and GI bleeding, leading to misdiagnosis.
- - A 29-year-old male presented with intestinal obstruction and was initially diagnosed as having an intestinal mesenchymal tumor, but post-surgery, he was confirmed to have Ewing sarcoma through pathology and genetic testing.
- - The patient underwent surgery to remove a large 15-cm tumor from his abdomen, which infiltrated nearby organs, and was subsequently treated with chemotherapy, illustrating the importance of accurate diagnosis and timely intervention for rare cancers.
