AI Article Synopsis
- Multiple primary malignancies can develop in adults simultaneously (synchronous) or at different times (metachronous).
- Retroperitoneal liposarcoma is a rare cancer from fat tissue, while gastric adenocarcinoma is among the most common cancers globally.
- The case report details a 52-year-old man with both malignancies, highlighting it as only the second known instance ever documented.
Article Abstract
Multiple primary malignancies can occur as either synchronous or metachronous tumors, particularly in adults. Retroperitoneal liposarcoma is a rare malignancy arising from adipose tissue, while gastric adenocarcinoma is one of the most common neoplasms worldwide. The simultaneous occurrence of these 2 malignancies is extremely rare, with only 1 case reported worldwide. Here, we present the case of a 52-year-old man diagnosed with both retroperitoneal liposarcoma and gastric adenocarcinoma, marking the second reported case in the world.

Retroperitoneal liposarcoma is a rare malignancy that arises from adipocytes and can expand significantly before manifesting clinical symptoms. Instances of giant retroperitoneal liposarcoma, defined as tumors larger than 30 cm, are extremely rare, with fewer than 20 reported cases. This case report presents a 68-year-old patient with a significant abdominal mass, ultimately identified and treated as a well-differentiated retroperitoneal liposarcoma.

Retroperitoneal liposarcoma (RPLPS) is one of the most common histologic subtypes of soft tissue sarcoma (STS). Complete surgical resection remains the mainstay treatment, while the high rate of locoregional recurrence constitutes the predominant cause of mortality. Well-differentiated (WDLPS) and dedifferentiated (DDLPS) liposarcoma are the most frequent subtypes of RPLPS and present amplified MDM2 gene as a hallmark.

Preoperative radiation alone lacks definitive benefit, thus we sought to evaluate combined chemoradiotherapy with the potential to enhance local efficacy of radiation as well as control micrometastatic disease. We assessed the safety and tolerability of preoperative eribulin, a cytotoxic microtubule inhibitor approved for the treatment of advanced liposarcoma, in combination with radiation in patients with RPLPS.

Introduction: Adrenal myelolipomas are uncommon benign adrenal tumors, which mostly occur unilaterally. We describe a rare case of giant bilateral adrenal myelolipoma mistaken for retroperitoneal liposarcoma.
Case Presentation: A 49-year-old man developed fever, left flank pain, and a large mass in his left abdomen.
