Retroperitoneal liposarcoma mimicking inguinal hernia
Retroperitoneal sarcomas are a group of rare tumors, originating from mesenchymal cells and difficult to diagnose due to their slow and insidious growth, leading to symptoms only when they are already advanced, presenting as large abdominal masses. In this article we will report a case that occurred at the Military Police Central Hospital in 2021 of patients who presented with a retroperitoneal sarcoma that simulated a right inguinal hernia. During the Pre-operative imaging examination, a large abdominal mass was revealed, extending through the inguinal canal.

In this article we will report a case that occurred at the Military Police Central Hospital in 2021 of patients who presented with a retroperitoneal sarcoma that simulated a right inguinal hernia.
