E-mail: majeedalwan@xtra.co.nz Abstract Retroperitoneal sarcoma (RPS) is a rare tumour. Its management is challenging because of often late presentation when the tumour attain a significant size, and its close relationship to several vital organs and structures in the retroperitoneum. Although surgery remains the main hope in controlling the disease, the use of neoadjuvant or adjuvant radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy remains controversial. Local recurrence is high and there are reports of successful second and third resections after recurrence. In this report the author reports two cases recently he had managed and presents the unique CT scan findings of the first case. This is followed by a brief review of the important matters related to this tumour.
