“…Although previous cases have reported increased levels of CEA or CA19-9, tumour markers are not helpful in diff erentiating the lesion (Tapper et al 2010). Similar to our case, Sonntag et al (2005) reported that the levels of serum tumour markers were consistently within normal limits throughout pregnancy, with the exception of an elevated CA19-9.…”

Primary retroperitoneal mucinous cystadenocarcinoma (PRMC) is an extremely rare tumour. This case report describes the treatment and prognosis of a patient with PRMC during pregnancy. This is the third case of PRMC in a pregnant woman, worldwide. The patient was a 37-year-old woman presenting with a left mid-abdominal and pelvic semisolid, cystic mass at 29 weeks' gestation. At 30 weeks' gestation, she underwent an exploratory laparotomy, which revealed a solid tumour (22 × 13 × 11 cm) with an intact capsule extending from the inferior pole of the left kidney to the pelvic inlet in the left retroperitoneal area. The tumour had adhesions with the surrounding connective tissue and could be excised with its capsule intact. In conclusion, based on the limited information available, a PRMC with no visible dissemination excised with an intact capsule appears to have a good prognosis. Tumour excision may be adequate for treatment of PRMCs in the extragenital space and with no dissemination.

“…Computed tomography may help distinguish between different types of cystic lesions [4]. However, preoperative diagnosis of retroperitoneal cyst is difficult and histologic findings of surgical excision specimen are needed to establish definitive diagnosis [5][6][7][8]. Recently, laparoscopic surgery for the excision of retroperitoneal cyst has been reported [2].…”

“…Mucinous cystadenomas are homogenous and well-defined unilocular cysts found in women with normal ovaries (26)(27)(28)(29). The pathogenesis is unclear, although it has been suggested that these lesions arise from invagination of the peritoneum, with consequent mucinous metaplasia and cyst formation.…”

Abstract. The identification of cystic lesions within the retroperitoneal space is a rare event that poses clinicians the challenge of a difficult diagnosis and disease management. Retroperitoneal cystic lesions account for a group of lesions that range from common benign lesions (e.g., lymphoceles developing as a surgical complication) to rare aggressive malignant neoplasms. Currently, in the majority of cases, image-guided procedures allow for a pathological diagnosis to be achieved in these challenging lesions, thus offering the chance of an appropriate treatment; however, the overall clinical assessment of retroperitoneal cysts is highly demanding. The present study reports the management of a representative clinical case, presenting with a voluminous cystic mass able to dislocate cave vein, whose diagnosis was preceded by a deep vein thrombosis. Computed tomography-scan and ultrasound guided percutaneous drainage were performed to achieve the diagnosis. Following the discussion of the current case report, a review of the pathological and radiological characteristics of retroperitoneal cystic lesions is presented.
