Abstract

|
Primary retroperitoneal mucinous cystadenomas (PRMCs) are very rare and difficult to diagnose before operation. Also the histogenesis of PRMC is unclear. We present a case report of a 30-year-old woman with PRMC in 15 weeks and 3 days of pregnancy. The ultrasound examination showed a 13×9×6 cm sized cystic tumor of the left ovary. The tumor revealed to be the cystic mass localized in the left retroperitoneum after exploratory larparotomy. This is the first case to report PRMC in pregnancy. Preoperative diagnosis of PRMC is very difficult, because the cystic mass of women in the pelvic cavity was usually ovarian mass. When confronted with cystic mass in pelvic cavity, we have to include the retroperitoneal mass in the list of differential diagnosis.
