Abstract:Background: In the vast and ever-expanding field of surgery there are only few subjects which have provoked controversy; curiosity related to correct management of patients suffering from various condition of the abdomen. This becomes very true when the patient has a retroperitoneal mass clinically. The problem of retroperitoneal mass was intriguing, fascinating and certainly most perplexing. The present study was planned with the objective to study the various clinical presentations of retroperitoneal mass, a… Show more

The peritoneal cavity is commonly affected by disease processes such as bowel perforation, infections, malignancy, and trauma. Recognizing the anatomy of the peritoneal and retroperitoneal regions is essential for identifying diseases and formulating differential diagnoses during radiological interpretation. Understanding how diseases can spread through the abdomen and pelvis is crucial for an accurate interpretation of radiological findings. Radiologists must be familiar with the peritoneal and retroperitoneal anatomy to avoid potential diagnostic misinterpretations. This article aims to discuss the anatomic principles of peritoneal ligaments and spaces and retroperitoneal spaces and planes, review the basic embryological development of the peritoneum, describe the mechanism by which diseases spread through the abdomen and pelvis, and provide key diagnostic findings.

“…Malignant tumours include liposarcoma, leiomyosarcoma, lymphoma, malignant brous histocytosis, desmoid tumours, exragonadal germ cell tumours and metastatic retroperitoneal lymphadenopathy. Lump in abdomen is the most common symptom, the other complaints with which patients present are anorexia, weight loss, fever, jaundice, haematuria, burning micturition' (Patel, 2020). It is often asymptomatic till the advanced stages and the symptoms that occur late in the course of the disease are due compression of the structures in the retroperitoneum.…”

Retroperitoneal tumour which can be benign or malignant is a rare entity (of which vascular neoplasms are extremely rare) with late clinical presentation, most often diagnosed in advanced stage of the disease. The complex anatomical location in the retroperitoneum, its inaccessibility and close relation to important structures in the retroperitoneal space pose a greater challenge in the diagnosis and the management of the disease. Here we are presenting a case of retroperitoneal tumour which presented with lump in abdomen since 10 years. Biopsy of the lump was suggestive of benign lesion. Complete surgical excision of the tumour was done and on final histopathology was suggestive of benign vascular neoplasm consistent with venous/cavernous hemangioma. Regular follow-up is uneventful.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
