Myxoid/round cell liposarcomas (MRCLPS) are a rare soft tissue sarcoma. We report the largest sarcoma in our institutional history. We discuss the patient’s surgical management and treatment of the tumor and challenges given its dimensions. Several complications arose following primary resection that were managed by a multidisciplinary team. Although MRCLPS can vary in size, large MRCLPS must be treated cautiously given the potential for complications. Additionally, multidisciplinary treatment of MRCLPS is essential in diagnosing and treating these complex cases.
