Abstract

Primary retroperitoneal mucinous cystic tumors are extremely rare, and although their histopathogenesis is still uncertain, several theories have been proposed. Traditionally, transabdominal laparotomy and enucleation of the cyst is the treatment of choice. The anatomopathological examination of the mass is imperative in the fact to eliminate malignant lesions. We report the case of a 43-year-old woman, with primary retroperitoneal mucinous cystic tumor, revealed by an abdomino-pelvic mass. During laparotomy, a totality of the tumor was removed. The anatomopathologic study permitted the diagnosis.
