Clinical presentation A 48-year-old woman presented with an abdominal mass with insidious onset. Computed tomographic scans of abdomen and pelvis (Figure 1A-1C) revealed a huge fatty tissue mass extending from the retroperitoneum to the pelvis. It occupies entire mid to lower abdomen and pelvis displacing bowel loops to the right upper quadrant of the abdomen. She underwent a complete excision of the tumour with concomitant resection of the left kidney, the left hemicolon, and the left ovary (Figure 1D). Figure 1.
