Retroperitoneal liposarcoma is a relatively rare tumor. The only established therapy is surgical resection and the tumor often recurs. This paper deals with a case of a retroperitoneal liposarcoma in which frequent surgical resections for recurrent tumors have provided relatively long-term survival for the patient. The patient was a 70-year-old woman who had undergone surgical resection for a right retroperitoneal tumor. The pathological diagnosis was dedifferentiated liposarcoma. Thereafter she experienced frequent recurrences which required 3 surgical resections. By means of positive margin for the last surgery, chemotherapy with eribulin was administered. There has been no recurrence 13 months after the last surgery.
