“…If diagnostic uncertainty were not an issue, nonpancreatic pseudocysts could be treated similarly to pancreatic pseudocysts, which would likely yield satisfactory results due to their histopathological similarities. Choosing options other than total surgical excision can avoid the need for extensive resection of adjacent organs such as the bowel, bladder, or parenchyma [ 12 , 13 ].…”

Introduction Non-pancreatic pseudocysts are rare lesions that typically form from the omentum and mesentery. These cysts have a thick fibrotic wall made up of fibrous tissue and may show signs of calcifications and inflammatory changes. The fluid inside them can vary, ranging from hemorrhage and pus to serous or sometimes chylous content. In most cases, these cysts appear as a result of trauma, surgery, or infection. Case presentation A 35-year-old male patient from Ethiopia presented with swelling in his lower abdomen that had been present for 2 years. Initially, the swelling was small but gradually increased in size. The patient experienced frequent urination but no pain or difficulty during urination, urgency, intermittent urination, or blood in the urine. The swelling was initially painless but became painful 2 months prior to his presentation. Abdominal computed tomography scans revealed a well-defined, lobulated peritoneal lesion measuring 16 × 12 × 10 cm, consisting primarily of fluid-filled cysts with a thick, enhancing wall and septa. Additionally, there was a large, heterogeneous enhancing soft tissue component measuring 8 × 6 cm. As a result, the cystic mass was surgically removed in its entirety with partial removal of the bladder wall, and the patient was discharged in an improved condition. Conclusion Primary non-pancreatic pseudocysts are extremely rare lesions that must be differentiated from other possible causes of cystic lesions within the peritoneal or retroperitoneal regions. Surgeons should be aware of the potential occurrence of these lesions, which may have an unknown origin.

“…The solid group consists of the tumor itself, and the cystic group consists of the cyst wall and contents such as fluid, pus, and blood. Pseudocysts in the retroperitoneal space are caused by the absence of an epithelial lining within the retroperitoneal space that accumulates unabsorbed fluid [ 1 ]. CT or magnetic resonance imaging are valuable tools for investigating retroperitoneal masses; however, it is challenging to make a definite diagnosis including various benign tumors [ 10 ].…”

Introduction. Extraorgan cysts of the retroperitoneal space (ECRS) remain a challenge in terms of determining therapeutic and diagnostic tactics. In most cases, ECRS are asymptomatic, which explains their detection as an incidental finding during examinations or surgical interventions in the abdominal cavity and/or retroperitoneal space. The main method for treatment of true and formed false ECRS consists in surgery with both laparotomy and laparoscopic accesses. Materials and methods. Clinical case: patient M., female, 39 years old, addressed to one of the clinics in Ufa with complaints of periodic lower left abdominal pain. Based on the results of the examinations, a diagnosis was made of a large tumor of the left ovary, complicated by pain. Concomitant diagnosis: multinodular uterine myoma. Surgical treatment — conservative myomectomy — with laparotomy access was performed due to the large size of the neoplasm. Intraoperatively, in the left iliac region, a volumetric liquid formation measuring 20×15 cm, not associated with the ovary, was discovered retroperitoneally. After further examination, the patient was referred for surgical treatment for retroperitoneal tumor in the City Clinical Hospital No 21. Results and discussion. The surgery was performed laparoscopically. The duration of the surgical intervention accounted for 39 minutes. The postoperative period was reported to be uneventful. Drains were removed on the second day. The patient was discharged from hospital on the fifth day after surgery. Histological examination of the cyst wall revealed no epithelial lining; the wall consisted of fibrous tissue. In this clinical case, according to the results of histological examination, the structure of the cyst wall corresponds to the secondary type or false cysts due to no epithelial lining. Conclusion. In cases of extraorgan retroperitoneal cysts, laparoscopic excision is considered to be a safe and effective method with less postoperative pain and a shorter recovery period compared to open interventions.
