Liposarcoma is a rare malignant tumor type and surgical resection is the gold standard treatment. The present study reported on the case of a 51-year-old woman who presented with a mass in the left upper abdomen. Computed tomography revealed a 32-cm giant retroperitoneal liposarcoma. Complete tumor resection was performed without the removal of other organs. Postoperative pathological examination indicated retroperitoneal well-differentiated liposarcoma and immunohistochemistry revealed S-100(-), MDM2(+), vimentin(+), CDK4(+), p16(+) and STAT6(+) results. The patient recovered well after the surgery. Complete tumor resection during the first surgery is key to cure liposarcoma. The present case report will be helpful for clinical oncologists to fully understand giant retroperitoneal liposarcoma and treat it accordingly.

Giant bladder stones are rare in younger patients. Herein, we report a case of acute renal failure in a 31-year-old male with a giant bladder stone. The patient presented with lower urinary tract symptoms and urinary retention with milky-white urine. An emergency suprapubic cystotomy was performed and an 11-cm oval, solid stone was removed. Post-operative creatinine levels progressively decreased to normal and the patient exhibited smooth urination and good recovery at follow-up. A comprehensive physical examination and thorough investigation of the patient's medical history are required during clinical evaluation, diagnosis and treatment, thus preventing misdiagnoses and ensuring prompt treatment.

Rationale: Omental liposarcoma is extremely rare, and only a few reports have been published in the literature. Due to the rarity of the disease, establishing a clear diagnosis and formulating a treatment plan may be challenging for clinicians. Patient concerns: The patient was a 51-year-old woman who presented with a protruding mass and pain in the lower abdomen. Diagnosis: Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a tumor measuring 15 cm in diameter in the pelvis. Ovarian cancer was suspected based on pre-operative imaging findings. Interventions: An exploratory laparotomy was performed. Intra-operative analysis of the frozen section suggested a benign tumor. Outcomes: Postoperative histopathological analysis confirmed the diagnosis of omental liposarcoma. The patient recovered well after surgery. Lesson: This case report helps clinical oncologists to develop a comprehensive understanding of this disease and treat it accordingly.

Radical cystectomy is the gold standard treatment for muscular invasive bladder cancer. Bricker surgery is the most common technique used for urinary diversion; however, troublesome complications such as postoperative anastomotic stenosis or fistula may occur. The case of a patient who had a urinary fistula after Bricker surgery performed at our hospital, is described. The patient was successfully treated with continuous double-cannula negative-pressure drainage and avoided a second surgery. The patient recovered well and is on regular follow-up. This case highlights the importance of timely and relevant treatment for patients with postoperative urinary fistula to avoid more invasive surgery.
