Abstract
Concerning two cases of liposarcomas developing in the retroperitoneal space, the characteristics of these rare tumors are reviewed. They ar e the most frequent mesenchymal tumors. Often, they are uncovered by p alpable abdominal mass or when they compress adjoining organs. Compute d tomography has proved valuable in the diagnosis of these lesions. Su rgical removal is the treatment of choice. Recurences are frequent and prognosis is poor.
