This papers aims to evaluate the clinicopathological features, treatment outcomes, and prognostic factors in patients with mesenteric LPS. Materials and Methods: Thirteen patients diagnosed with primary mesenteric LPS between 2010 and 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. Data included demographics, tumor location, histological subtype, surgical treatment, recurrence, and survival. Results: The median age was 56 years (range, 22-74), with a slight male predominance (53.8%). Most tumors arose from the small bowel (53.8%) and colonic (38.5%) mesenteries, with one involving the gastric mesentery. The predominant histological subtypes were myxoid (46.1%) and dedifferentiated (23.1%). R0 resection was achieved in 76.9% of patients. During a median follow-up of 55.2 months, nine patients (69.2%) developed recurrence. Mortality was higher in patients with dedifferentiated LPS (66.7%) than in those with myxoid LPS (40%). Five-year survival rate was 100% in patients without recurrence and 28.6% in those with recurrence (p = 0.112, not significant). Patients who received adjuvant chemoradiotherapy suggested longer survival (110.7 vs. 46.2 months; p = 0.620). Conclusions: This 12-year study highlights the aggressive nature of mesenteric LPS, particularly the dedifferentiated subtype which showed the poorest prognosis. Complete resection remains the primary treatment; however, it has high recurrence rates. To diminish the catastrophic poor results of the postoperative period, multidisciplinary treatment strategies become a keystone.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessprimary mesenteric liposarcomasurvival analysisdedifferentiated liposarcomasurgical outcomesrecurrenceprognosisArticle61114130382110.3390/medicina611119842-s2.0-105023047375Q1WOS:001624189100001Q10000-0003-1208-40720000-0001-5573-26450000-0002-0701-83990000-0001-5381-513X0000-0002-7698-9586
