Laparoscopic Approach for a Mucinous Mullerian Retroperitoneal Cystadenoma

Abstract:

Based on a clinical case, we shall go through the literature concerning a rare tumor, the retroperitoneal mucinous cystadenoma. We present the case of a woman aged 41, with abdominal pain and an ultrasound diagnosis of a mixed left para aortic lesion of 44x34mm (Figure 1), with multiple calcifications. Radical resection is performed by laparoscopic approach. The anatomical pathology result was a mullerian mucinous cystadenoma. Retroperitoneal tumours are uncommon and have a controversial management. The treatment of choice is in-bloc resection; laparoscopic surgery remains a viable technique, with similar results to open surgery, with the advantages of minimally invasive surgery.
