Abstract
The treatment of choice in retroperitoneal liposarcoma is curative RO resec tion. However, there are high rates of reoperation due to recurrence. Our p resent case report shows difficulties in detecting recurrence due to atypic al configuration. Eventually a huge diverticulum of the duodenum combined w ith leiomyoma in its neck area was histopathologically identified as a recu rrent liposarcoma.
