Findings
was changed:
There is right side subhepatic huge retroperitoneal fat/solid mass with septations and dystrophic calcifications and thickened septations and a large solid component that has some areas of cystic degeneration. The mass displaces the intra-abdominal structures including the right kidney, liver and the gut. There is also mass induced umbilical hernia and a right-sided inguinal omentocele.
Updates to Case Attributes
Body
was changed:
Sagittal and axial imageimages demonstrated clear separation between the mass and the kidney excluding angiomyolipoma (AML). Also, excess lipid components excluded neurogenic tumours like schwannoma. In addition, the presence of calcification supported the diagnosis of liposarcoma rather than lipomyosarcoma, in which calcifications isare a rare finding.
