Ovarian cancer was suspected based on pre-operative imaging findings.InterventionsAn exploratory laparotomy was performed. Intra-operative analysis of the frozen section suggested a benign tumor.OutcomesPostoperative histopathological analysis confirmed the diagnosis of omental liposarcoma. The patient recovered well after surgery.LessonThis case report helps clinical oncologists to develop a comprehensive understanding of this disease and treat it accordingly.Copyright © 2022 the Author(s).
