Abstract
Introduction: Retroperitoneal liposarcomas are rare malignancies. There are a limited number of liposarcoma cases in gastrointestinal system in literature. There is no known etiological factor in the pathogenesis of liposarcomas yet. The treatment is total resection.
Case Report: A 59-year-old male patient detected synchronous liposarcoma both in retroperitoneum and in colon and treated with en block resection. We discussed our case with review of literature.
Conclusion: We think that even though it could not be detected in preoperative examinations, this rare togetherness should be considered intraoperatively.

Keywords: Colon liposarcoma, Gastric liposarcoma, Retroperitoneal liposarcoma
