Pseudo-beer belly disguised and presenting as inguinal hernia swelling: a case of massive retroperitoneal liposarcoma
In obese patients with abdominal obesity and irreducible inguinal herniation lacking obstructive symptoms, retroperitoneal tumors should be considered.

Complete surgical excision with safe margins remains the cornerstone of management, followed by rigorous surveillance.
