[Multiple recurrent retroperitoneal liposarcoma in a 66-year-old man]

In this article, the authors present the case of a 66-year-old man who was diagnosed with the first recurrence of his retroperitoneal liposarcoma 7 years after initial diagnosis. In the following 10 years, he needed a total of eight operations, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy because of another seven recurrences. This is the first report on a patient with eight recurrences of a retroperitoneal liposarcoma being in a relatively good general condition even 17 years after initial diagnosis.
