ABSTRACT
Abdominal metastasis is considered an uncommon event in the natural history of soft tissue sarcoma (STS). The World Health Organization (WHO) divides sarcomas into two broad categories: sarcomas of soft tissue and sarcomas of bone [1]. Soft-tissue sarcomas affect all ages and may arise at any location in the body. They account for less than 1% of malignant tumors.Abdominal metastasis is considered an uncommon event in the natural history. Our caseis: a 50-year old man, with surgical history (liposarcoma of lower left lumb and he had suffered a left hip disarticulation in 2018 with no post operative complications). Actually, the patient presented to our department for abdominal fullness without fever, transit disorder, gastrointestinal bleeding or other signs. And it discovered on the CT scan as part of the extension assessment. It showed three cystic lesions. The surgical management consisted of under-hepatic mass resection. The pathological result is in favor of secondary localization of initially diagnosed liposarcoma. The Post-operation consequences are simple and the oncologic management was clinical and morphologic following up.
