Totally laparoscopic colectomy with intracorporeal anastomosis for colonic liposarcoma: A case report

Liposarcoma is a type of soft tissue sarcoma. Primary colonic liposarcomas are extremely rare. An 86‐year‐old man with diarrhea and anorexia visited our outpatient clinic at Okayama City Hospital. Colonoscopy and computed tomography imaging revealed a large submucosal tumor in the descending colon with a maximum diameter of approximately 10 cm. He underwent totally laparoscopic left hemicolectomy with intracorporeal anastomosis. The histopathological diagnosis was a well‐differentiated liposarcoma without lymph node metastases. The patient's postoperative course was uneventful. We herein report a rare case of totally laparoscopic colectomy with intracorporeal anastomosis in an elderly patient with colonic liposarcoma.
