Abstract :
Liposarcoma is a rare malignant mesenchymal tumor of the kidney. It comprises less than 1% of malignant kidney tumors. Our case was a 73 year-old male patient who applied to outpatient department of urology with blunt chest pain. Upper abdomen magnetic resonance imaging revealed a solid mass whit an about 15 cm of diameter in mid-lower pole of left kidney and the patient was undergone a left radical nephrectomy operation. Macroscopic examination of the specimen revealed a partialy demarcated tumor, with 18 × 12 × 11 cm in size in the lower pole of the kidney. Its cut surface was dirty yellow in color and nodular appearance with necrotic areas.The case was diagnosed as a well differentiated renal lipsarcoma of kidney, because of marked nuclear atypia containing adiposits and multivacuoler lipoblasts in microscopic examination. There were xanthogranulomatous inflammation areas in the nonneoplastic areas. Local recurrence was determined after four months of follow-up. Our case was discussed in the light of the available literature, since isolated liposarcoma stemmed from the kidney is rare.
