“…Many of the cysts become symptomatic after superadded infection, which can result in chronic non-healing sinus, perineal fistulas, or bleeding per rectum [7,8]. These cysts usually affect middle-aged and elderly females, though the occurrence of presacral epidermoid has even been reported in a 4-yearold child [9,10]. The major complications of these cysts include infections and bleeding.…”

“…Ultrasonography usually shows a cystic mass with or without internal echoes. CT scan reveals a unilocular or multilocular presacral retroperitoneal mass [9], which on non-contrast scans may appear hyperdense owing to the high protein content or prior hemorrhage. In the case of superadded infections, the cyst wall may be thickened with abnormal enhancement; in the case of fistulization, air may be detected within the cyst.…”

Primary retroperitoneal cysts (RPCs) are a rare surgical entity and are mostly detected incidentally. Usually, they are asymptomatic. At times, they may attain a huge size and may present with a large abdominal lump. Often, they pose a dilemma at diagnosis and for management. Though the laparoscopic approach has been described for their surgical excision, open surgery is still the preferred approach. We herein present a case of a voluminous retroperitoneal pelvic cystic mass in a 40-year-old female, which was diagnosed as hydrosalpinx on a magnetic resonance imaging scan. The patient was referred to us by the specialist in gynecologic laparoscopy after the incidental discovery of the RPC during his surgical intervention, purportedly for large hydrosalpinx. At our hospital, 4 days after the above intervention, she underwent laparoscopic complete excision of the cyst. Her postoperative recovery was uneventful and she was discharged on postoperative day 3 without any complications. Histopathology was suggestive of Mullerian inclusion cyst. This case report aims to share a rare case of a large primary retroperitoneal pelvic cystic lesion, which caused a diagnostic challenge preoperatively but was eventually managed successfully, laparoscopically.

Detection and management of retroperitoneal cystic lesions: A case report and review of the literature

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.
