Hruška M, Klézl P, Nencka P, Klečka J, Kolombo I, Jirásek T, Kujal P, Grill R. Liposarcoma and ganglioneuroma as primary retroperitoneal tumours. We decribe a case reports of two patients with benign and malignant primary retroperitoneal tumors that presented with symptoms due to of the progressive tumor growth. One patient un derwent percutaneous biopsy with a suspicion of low grade liposarcoma. The patient was designated for surgical intervention. The recurrence of the tumor occurs in seventh months post-surgery, at which point the tumor was excised and followed by postoperative chemotherapy. Upon completion the patient underwent an additional surgery for a second recurrence. Incomplete removal of the tumor was performed, and palliative systemic therapy followed. In the second case, a patient was indicated to adrenalectomy for suspicion of adrenal tumor based on finding from imaging methods. The final histology excluded adrenal pathology and instead described retroperitoneal ganglioneuroma.

Keywords: Retroperitoneum, mesenchymal tumors, sarcoma, ganglioneuroma.
