“…5 To our knowledge, this is the fourth case in the literature of a retroperitoneal duplication cyst with adenocarcinomatous changes. [5][6][7] Prognosis is excellent, even in malignant transformation, provided that margins are negative. As most adenocarcinomas recur locally within the first 3 years, annual surveillance is indicated for up to 5 years.…”

A 57-year-old woman with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus and no other medical history had worsening left-sided back pain over 4 months and no other symptoms. Physical examination findings were significant for mild left flank pain, but there was no costovertebral angle tenderness. Laboratory results were within normal limits. Axial imaging demonstrated an exophytic, retroperitoneal mass with solid and cystic components involving the left kidney, posterior abdominal wall, and mesocolon (Figure 1). The mass measured 20 cm in its greatest dimension. Findings on colonoscopy and mammography were negative. Positron emission tomography-computed tomography did not reveal any other abnormality.Quiz at jamasurgery.com

They can also occur anywhere within the gastro-intestinal tract, although they are most commonly found in the small intestine [ 4 ].

“…These include the presence of alimentary mucous membrane lining, a smooth muscle coat and intimate attachment to some part of the gastro-intestinal tract. However, cysts with respiratory epithelial lining and no attachment to the gastro-intestinal tract have been described [ 4 , 10 ]. The current article demonstrates a retroperitoneal enterogenous cyst that also does not conform to Dardik's original criteria.…”

To date, only 3 cases have been reported of retroperitoneal enterogenous cysts [ 1 - 3 ] and only a further 2 cases of such cysts developing adenocarcinomatous changes[ 4 , 5 ].…”

Enterogenous cyst (EC) is a rare congenital lesion generally located in the central nervous system, such as in the cerebral hemispheres, posterior fossa, or spinal canal. They are usually benign lesions, and malignant transformation is rare. A 42-year-old woman felt an obvious pain in the lump and went to a local hospital for local lumpectomy. After 7 months, she again felt pain in the buttocks and difficulty in urinating and defecation. The computed tomography (CT) scan showed a mass in the pelvis. Sacrococcygeal cyst excision was performed 10 days later, and postoperative pathology showed epidermoid cyst. Shortly after, the patient recovered and was discharged from the hospital; the pain in the buttocks continued to recur. Puncture and drainage were performed five times. Later, the patient went to our hospital for treatment, and pelvic MRI showed multiple abnormal signal shadows in the presacral and sacrococcygeal regions, some of which were considered abscesses, and some were cystic lesions. She underwent tumor resection and was diagnosed with EC with locally moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma. Four months later, the patient’s symptoms of swelling and pain recurred. MRI examination showed multiple high-signal T2 shadows in the anterior sacral and subcutaneous tissues of the buttocks, and enhanced scan showed partial marginal enhancement. After assessment, the patient was given a radiation dose of 60 Gy/25F. ECs in the anterior sacral and soft tissue of the buttocks are very rare, and the case of carcinomatous transformation has never been reported. Therefore, we discussed the clinicopathological features of ectopic ECs and reviewed the literature.
