Abstract
Dedifferentiated liposarcomas are rare; localization of these tumors in the descending colon is extremely uncommon. We describe the case of a 75-year-old man with a dedifferentiated liposarcoma originating from the descending colon that manifested as partial bowel obstruction. The very uncommon presentation of this rare disease contributed to a challenging diagnostic process. The patient was successfully treated by surgical resection of the mass through left hemicolectomy. Although exceptionally unusual, soft tissue sarcomas should be considered in the differential diagnosis for bowel obstruction. Currently, radical resection of the mass is considered to be the first-line treatment.

Abstract
Primary gastrointestinal liposarcoma is rare, and information regarding this entity is largely based on single case studies. We report on 8 patients with primary liposarcoma of the gastrointestinal tract and review the pertinent literature. The cohort includes 6 men and 2 women who ranged in age from 51 to 81 years (median 68.5). Two tumors arose in the stomach, 4 in the small intestine, and 2 in the large intestine. Tumors ranged in size from 2.5 to 14.5 cm (median 7 cm), originated in the submucosa or muscularis propria of the intestinal wall, and frequently protruded into the bowel lumen, resulting in mucosal ulceration and luminal obstruction. Six tumors were dedifferentiated liposarcomas, and 2 were well-differentiated liposarcoma. Surgical excision was performed on all tumors except for 1 case of dedifferentiated liposarcoma. On follow-up, 1 patient with dedifferentiated liposarcoma developed a lytic sacral lesion suspicious for metastasis 4 months after resection of the primary, and another underwent marginal resection and presented with recurrence 4 years later, had tumor re-resection, and was considered disease-free at 6 weeks postsurgery. A third patient with dedifferentiated liposarcoma was alive with unknown disease status at 17 months following surgery, and another patient with dedifferentiated liposarcoma was alive without evidence of disease at 30 months following surgery. No follow-up information on the remaining patients is available. Overall, liposarcomas of the intestinal tract are most frequently high-grade dedifferentiated tumors that are biologically aggressive and require surgical excision with widely negative margins to help reduce the risk of local recurrence and dissemination. Important in the differential diagnosis is malignant gastrointestinal stromal tumor. Care must be taken not to misdiagnose one entity for the other because the correct diagnosis carries important therapeutic implications.

Abstract
The colon is a rare site of occurrence of liposarcoma, as either the primary site or by secondary involvement from a retroperitoneal liposarcoma. Liposarcomatosis denotes simultaneous occurrence of multiple liposarcomas. There are only 17 cases of primary colonic liposarcoma reported in the English literature-one of which was primary colonic liposarcomatosis. We depict the second case of primary colonic liposarcomatosis in a 57-year-old female who presented with abdominal swelling and pain. On exploratory laparotomy, two large masses were seen arising from the wall of the right colon along with multiple smaller masses attached to the colon. Right hemicolectomy with en bloc excision of the masses was performed along with hysterectomy and pelvic floor repair. Macroscopically, multiple exophytic masses and one endophytic mass were identified. The exophytic masses were of variable size and were found to hang from the colon by a thin pedicle simulating variable-sized appendices epiploicae. Histopathologically, the lesions showed the morphology of well-differentiated liposarcoma. This appears to be a case of primary colonic liposarcomatosis. There is only one other similar case reported in the English literature, to the best of our knowledge.

Abstract
It may be difficult to ascertain the relationship between a large intra-abdominal tumor and the adjacent organs if they are close together. In the current case, a definitive preoperative diagnosis of an exophytic colonic tumor was obtained by the demonstration of obtuse angles between the tumor and colon and by distinct recognition of the mucosa-submucosa of the colonic wall on computed tomography; the accuracy of this preoperative diagnosis was subsequently confirmed by pathologic findings.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Liposarcoma occurs most commonly in the extremities and retroperitoneum, however, it has been rarely observed in the colon. CASE PRESENTATION A case is reported a 41-year-old man with liposarcoma of ascending colon which was presented as hemoperitoneum and combined with a different histological type of retroperitoneal liposarcoma. He visited hospital with right lower abdominal pain and palpable mass. Laboratory data including tumor markers were within normal limits, and computed tomography revealed a 15 x 10 cm sized enhancing soft mass. Right hemicolectomy was performed, and after that, a further large retroperitoneal mass was revealed and this was also radically excised. Mixed-type colon liposarcoma and well differentiated type of retroperitoneal liposarcoma were diagnosed in pathologic report. The patient has remained free of disease for 24 months. CONCLUSIONS No standardized guidelines have been established for its treatment because too small a number of cases have been reported, but surgical resection was considered the treatment of choice.

Abstract
Background Liposarcoma is one of the most common soft tissue sarcoma of adult life, usually occurring in the retroperitoneum and the extremities. Primary liposarcoma of the colon is very rare. The optimal treatment has not been established due to the small number of cases reported. We report a case of primary liposarcoma of the colon presenting as a massive intraluminal lesion. Case presentation A 79-year-old woman presented with abdominal pain, progressive constipation and weight loss. A CT scan and a colonoscopy revealed an intraluminal mass in the transverse colon and multiple intraperitoneal lesions. The patient underwent surgical resection of the lesions. Pathologic examination was consistent with pleomorphic liposarcoma of the colon. Conclusion Although no guidelines are available for the management of liposarcoma of the colon, surgical resection should be performed when feasible. Our patient's overall survival was satisfactory in spite of the multiple negative prognostic factors.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Liposarcomas are most common soft tissue sarcomas usually seen in deep soft tissues of extremities and retroperitoneum. Although secondary involvement of gastrointestinal system can occur in cases of retroperitoneal tumours, liposarcomas primarily involving the gastrointestinal tract are extremely uncommon. Intusussception refers to telescoping of contiguous segments of intestine causing obstruction. Colo-colic intusussception is rare in adults and usually associated with a malignant etiology, usually epithelial malignancies (adenocarcinomas). DISCUSSION Colonic liposarcomas leading to colo-colic intussusception are extremely rare, with only six cases reported in the literature. CONCLUSION In this report, we describe this rare occurrence in a 66-year-old lady and highlight the diagnostic difficulties such cases can pose along with a review of relevant literature.
