Liposarcoma is a malignant tumor of mesenchymal origin, which represents the most frequent variety of soft tissue sarcomas. However, the incidence of these tumors in adult oncological pathology is less than 1%. Of that percentage, only between 10% and 15% are located in the retroperitoneum. We present the clinical case of a patient with incidental diagnosis of a retroperitoneal tumor, and suspected imaging of liposarcoma with anatomopathological confirmation of myxoid variety. The complete macroscopic excresis of the lesion and external adjuvant radiotherapy were performed. A brief summary of the current management of the aforementioned pathology is also presented.
