Imaging revealed a large left para-aortic retroperitoneal mass compressing the colon. Colonoscopy showed colonic mucosal atrophy without active bleeding. Surgical exploration via midline laparotomy identified a bilobulated 89 × 35 × 40 cm retroperitoneal mass, infiltrating the left colon and compromising adjacent structures. En bloc resection, including hemicolectomy and left salpingo-oophorectomy, was performed. Histopathology confirmed a dedifferentiated liposarcoma with well-differentiated areas and colonic invasion reaching the muscularis propria. Margins were positive (R1).
