Histologic diagnosis showed that 29.0% of these Pap tests had findings requiring follow-up or therapeutic intervention, including a 5.2% rate of malignancy. Based on these findings, 99.6% of the diagnoses are within the region of surveillance when AGUS Pap tests are evaluated with colposcopy and directed biopsy, endocervical curettage, an endometrial biopsy in patients with risk factors for endometrial cancer, and pelvic examination.
Retroperitoneal cysts are uncommon, with an estimated incidence of 1/5750 to 1/250,000. As the retroperitoneum is a large potential space, these cysts can grow to considerable size before becoming symptomatic. This case report reviews the presentation and management of an upper abdominal retroperitoneal cyst of Müllerian origin. To our knowledge, it is only the 7th such case found in the literature.
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.
