    An intrathoracic stomach is the end stage of a hiatal hernial diaphragm and has a very low incidence. Frequently, the diagnosis is made incidentally by endoscopic or radiographic investigations. There could be no clinical symptoms; however, an intrathoracic stomach could be life-threatening. In this case, we have reported a rare case of intrathoracic stomach in a 10-year-old child and that too on the right side which is extremely rare and not reported in the literature till date.

    INTRODUCTION: Retroperitoneal liposarcoma is a rare malignancy arises from perirenal fat comprises of 0.02 to 0.2% of all malignancies and 10-20% of all soft tissue sarcomas. Usual age presentation is 5-6 decade of age with slight male predominance. These tumors are usually large, in 20% of patients the tumor is more than 10cms size. The liposarcoma may have weight and dimension variable; those over 20 kg are called “giant liposarcomas” and are extremely rare. Complete surgical resection [R0] is the only way for survival advantage. We report a case of huge retroperitoneal liposarcoma, which of size of 30><25><20cms and 8kg weight. Few cases have been reported of this size in literature. 10]
