in adults. Primary peritoneal liposarcoma is very rare. We report a case of abdominal liposarcoma originating

been begun from one month ago without any pain, discomfort or gastrointestinal symptoms. In physical examination
a large mass with approximate size of 30×35 cm and firm density was found in left lower part of
abdomen. The patient underwent laparotomy. The pathologic diagnosis was well differentiated liposarcoma.
After 5 months of treatment the patient is well and no problem, complication or recurrence has been reported.
