Abstract
We describe a case of a 47-year-old man with retroperitoneal poorly differentiated myxoid liposarcoma. The retroperitoneal invasion of the sarcoma caused hydroureter-nephrosis, rectal stenosis and also exaggerated steroid induced diabetes mellitus. A remarkable regression was achieved by systemic combination of chemotherapy with prednisolone, cyclophosphamide, vincristine sulfate and actinomycin D. This combination chemotherapy is worth trying if a patient has inoperable liposarcoma. It can also be used to reduce local recurrence rate after surgical or radiation therapy, or both, against liposarcoma.Keywords
