Abstract
We present a case series of three successfully resected tumors in our center at Al-Makassed Hospital in Jerusalem, Palestine, all of which primarily involved or invaded adjacent structures and needed a multidisciplinary approach to achieve R0 resection. Our first patient is a 42-year-old previously healthy female with intermittent attacks of dull aching abdominal pain. Her tumor was a leiomyosarcoma that involved major vessels and other adjacent vital structures. Ultimately, she needed major highly advanced surgery necessitating the need for vascular reconstruction of the IVC, as well as R0 resection. The surgery was performed by a multidisciplinary team of highly specialized surgeons in related fields. Our second case is a 75-year-old female patient with a well-differentiated liposarcoma invading the upper pole of the right kidney, necessitating a nephrectomy. Consequently, this case demanded the interdisciplinary involvement of nephrology. Our third patient is a 59-year-old male with dedifferentiated liposarcoma that involved the spleen, pancreas, and splenic flexure while engulfing the left kidney and ureter. Beyond the removal of the tumor, multiorgan resection was imperative to achieve microscopic margin-free resection. This extensive local spread needed broad collaboration from the medical team and other surgical subspecialties. All surgeries went well, and their outcomes were promising. All patients had an uneventful follow-up and, to date, no recurrence. Invasive retroperitoneal sarcomas of different histological types and clinical stages represent a technical challenge. Careful preoperative investigation and an experienced, dedicated multidisciplinary team of surgeons and non-surgeons from related fields, including vascular, urologic, and hepatobiliary surgeons, are usually needed for a safe and successful R0 resection despite extensive tumor involvement in light of difficulty achieving early diagnosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Increasing publication numbers in the biomedical field led to an improvement of patient care in many aspects but are challenging for scientists when integratively processing data of their fields. Using bibliometric analyses, the present study assesses the productivity and predominant topics in retroperitoneal soft-tissue sarcoma (RPS) research across the past 122 years, thereby identifying crucial questions to address in future RPS research. METHODS Using the Web of Science Core Collection, 1018 RPS-associated publications from 1900 to 2022 were identified and analyzed regarding key bibliometric variables using the Bibliometrix R package and the VOSviewer software. RESULTS A continuous increase in RPS-associated publication numbers can be noticed over the time, which is strongly pronounced from 2005 onwards, and is characterized by a multinationally driven collaborative clinical research focus. The research primarily reflects progression regarding surgical techniques, histology-based therapy, radiotherapy regimens, and identification of prognostic clinicopathological factors. This progression is accompanied with improved overall survival of RPS patients. However, a paucity of RPS-specific basic/translational research indicates that such research might be additionally needed to better understand the pathophysiology of RPS and with that to enable the development of personalized therapies and to further improve patient outcome. CONCLUSION Increasing publication numbers of multinationally driven clinical RPS research are accompanied with improved overall survival of RPS patients, highlighting the importance of international collaborations to facilitate future clinical trials. However, this bibliometric analysis reveals a lack of RPS-specific basic/translational research which is needed to further improve patient outcome in the context of precision oncology.

Abstract
Soft tissue sarcomas (STS) are an uncommon and biologically heterogeneous group of tumors arising from mesenchymal cells. The incidence is estimated at five cases per 100,000 people per year. Retroperitoneal sarcomas (RPS) account for 10-15% of all STS, and their management depends on their anatomical characteristics and histotype. Due to their very low incidence, it is recommended that RPS be treated in reference centers and evaluated by an experienced multidisciplinary team (MDT). In Spain, the Spanish Group for Research in Sarcomas (GEIS) brings together experts from various specialties to promote research on sarcomas and improve treatment results. This paper summarizes the GEIS recommendations for the diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of patients with RPS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Well-differentiated liposarcoma is the second most common pathologic type of retroperitoneal sarcoma. It is characterized by a huge mass, but multiple organ invasions are common. Surgery is the only treatment option for potential cure. Hyper-accuracy three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction is widely used in robotic partly nephrectomy owing to its ability to visualize overlapping anatomy.
CASE SUMMARY A 54-year-old man was admitted for progressive abdominal distension over the preceding 2 mo. Computed tomography revealed a 32 cm × 21 cm × 12 cm lipomatous mass. Hyper-accuracy 3D reconstruction was performed because of the complex relationship between the mass and nearby tissue. The patient underwent surgical resection, and the tumor did not recur for over 16 mo.
CONCLUSION Hyper-accuracy 3D reconstruction is useful for operative planning owing to its intuitiveness and precise determination of anatomical structures in both tumors and nearby tissues.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE - To update French urological guidelines on retroperitoneal sarcoma. MATERIALS AND METHODS - Comprehensive Medline search between 2018 and 2020 upon diagnosis, treatment and follow-up of retroperitoneal sarcoma. Level of evidence was evaluated. RESULTS - Chest, abdomen and pelvis CT is mandatory to evaluate any suspected retroperitoneal sarcoma. MRI sometimes helps surgical planning. Before histological confirmation through biopsy, the patient must be registered in the French sarcoma pathology reference network. The biopsy standard should be an extraperitoneal coaxial percutaneous sampling before any retroperitoneal mass therapeutic decision. Surgery is retroperitoneal sarcoma cornerstone. The main objective is grossly negative margins and can be technically challenging. Multimodal treatment risks and benefits must be discussed in multidisciplinary teams. The relapse rate is related to tumor grade and surgical margins. Reported Negative margins rate thus encourage surgery in high-volume centers. CONCLUSION - Retroperitoneal sarcoma prognosis is poor and closely related to the quality of initial management. Centralization through dedicated sarcoma pathology network in a high-volume center is mandatory.

Abstract
Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is one of the most common soft tissue sarcomas of adolescents and young adults. Histologically, rhabdomyosarcoma is classified into embryonal, alveolar, pleomorphic, and spindle cell/sclerosing rhabdomyosarcomas with further subcategorization. More than 50% of embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma occur within head and neck. The retroperitoneum and pelvis are less common sites of involvement. Embryonal rhabdomyosarcomas affect mainly, but not exclusively, children between birth and 15 years of age. Alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma tends to affect older patients. The usual metastatic sites include lung, lymph nodes, and bone marrow. We are presenting a case of a 25-year-old male patient with symptoms of breathlessness, easy fatigability, and weight loss. On chest imaging, there were multiple lung nodules. A primary diagnosis of undifferentiated malignant neoplasm was made on lung biopsy. On immunohistochemistry, the malignant cells were positive for myogenin, myoblast determination protein 1 (MyoD1), and desmin. They were negative for neuroendocrine, germ cell, epithelial, melanocytic, and lymphoid markers. Further workup showed an abdominopelvic retroperitoneal mass on abdominal computed tomography (CT) scan. The biopsy on the retroperitoneal mass showed similar morphology and immunohistochemical profile. Unfortunately, the patient's condition deteriorated rapidly in the following weeks, and he passed away.

Abstract
CONTEXT - Current 2013 World Health Organization classification of tumors of soft tissue arranges these tumors into 12 groups according to their histogenesis. Tumor behavior is classified as benign, intermediate (locally aggressive), intermediate (rarely metastasizing), and malignant. In our practice, a general approach to reaching a definitive diagnosis of soft tissue tumors is to first evaluate clinicoradiologic, histomorphologic, and cytomorphologic features of the tumor to generate some pertinent differential diagnoses. These include the potential line of histogenesis and whether the tumor is benign or malignant, and low or high grade. Although molecular/genetic testing is increasingly finding its applications in characterizing soft tissue tumors, currently immunohistochemistry still not only plays an indispensable role in defining tumor histogenesis, but also serves as a surrogate for underlining molecular/genetic alterations. Objective- To provide an overview focusing on the current concepts in the classification and diagnosis of soft tissue tumors, incorporating immunohistochemistry. This article uses examples to discuss how to use the traditional and new immunohistochemical markers for the diagnosis of soft tissue tumors. Practical diagnostic pearls, summary tables, and figures are used to show how to avoid diagnostic pitfalls. DATA SOURCES - Data were obtained from pertinent peer-reviewed English-language literature and the authors' first-hand experience as bone and soft tissue pathologists. CONCLUSIONS - -The ultimate goal for a pathologist is to render a specific diagnosis that provides diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic information to guide patient care. Immunohistochemistry is integral to the diagnosis and management of soft tissue tumors.
