“…Additionally, clear well-defined margins allow for resection with ease. Therefore, if confirmed by preoperative investigations such as FNAC, treatment with DEC can be started first and depending on the clinical response, surgical excision may be reserved for persistent symptomatic cysts 6. In our case, our patient was not diagnosed with filariasis preoperatively and received various non-surgical modalities of treatment which failed to bring any improvement, therefore, a decision for surgical exploration was taken in view of long symptomatic period and well-defined planes on CECT.…”

Lymphatic filariasis is caused by nematode filariae Wuchereria bancrofti, Brugia malayi or Brugia timori. It is commonly seen in tropical and subtropical regions of the world and affects the lymphatic system of humans, who are the definitive host while mosquito is the intermediate host. The most common manifestation of the disease is hydrocele followed by lower limb lymphoedema and elephantiasis. Although filariasis is much more common entity in north India, its presentation as retroperitoneal cyst is very rare with reported incidence rate of 1/105 000. We present a case of primary retroperitoneal filariasis in a 52-year-old man, without any classic signsandsymptoms, diagnosed postoperatively after surgical resection following diagnostic uncertaintyandfailure of other medical therapies.

“…Wuchereria bancrofti is the common causative agent of filarial infections in India. [3] Here, we present a rare case of filariasis presenting as a primary retroperitoneal cyst. The imaging findings are discussed in the case report, which leads us to the diagnosis with further confirmation on microscopy by the presence of microfilariae within the cyst.…”

Lymphatic filariasis is an endemic infection seen predominantly in the tropical and subtropical regions, and approximately 120 million people are infected and 1.1 billion are at risk of infection all over the globe. It presents with lymphatic dysfunction in various forms such as elephantiasis, lymphocele, hydrocele, chyluria, and groin lymphadenovarix. The patient may complain about symptoms of fever, redness and pitting edema, etc. We report a rare presentation of filariasis in an unusual and uncommon location, presenting as an intra-abdominal mass.

“…The question of the occurrence of extraorganic retroperitoneal cysts (EORC), despite the increase in their incidence in recent decades, is poorly understood and is addressed only by single researchers, who describe mainly single observations of this pathology [1,2,3,4,5]. The lack of a unified classification of the EORC lies at the heart of a methodological problem that leaves a number of issues unresolved.…”

of primary extraorganic retroperitoneal cysts is most often a disorder of embryonic development. The most common causes of secondary cysts are trauma and surgical interventions in the past. We analyzed 28 case histories of patients with extraorganic retroperitoneal cysts. After surgical removal 13 cysts turned out to be primary, other 15-secondary cystic formations. Malignant condition was found in 2 primary cysts. We came to the conclusion that primary extraorganic retroperitoneal cysts develop due to impaired embryonic development and can be divided into enteric, bronchogenic, urogenital, dermoid, mesothelial and lymphatic cysts. The etiology of secondary cysts is determined by the presence of a history of abdomen or back trauma, as well as the surgery that was performed in the past by laparotomy or retroperitoneal access.
