Abdominal metastasis is relatively rare in dedifferentiated liposarcoma of the shoulder and back. Surgery is the best treatment option, whether it is radical or palliative surgery. Chemotherapy is the standard systemic treatment for advanced unresectable/metastatic patients, but the therapeutic effect is limited. Here, we treat advanced abdominal dedifferentiated liposarcoma through a comprehensive treatment method of targeting, surgery, and chemotherapy, which improves the quality of life of the patient, and shrinks the tumor significantly.
