Developmental retroperitoneal cysts of the pelvis

Abstract

Retroperitoneal cysts have been classified into traumatic, infective, degenerative, neoplastic, and developmental, according to their origin. This paper focuses on the developmental variety of retroperitoneal pelvic cysts, particularly those of mesothelial, mesonephric, or paramesonephric origin. Their clinical presentations depend on their location; they may be mesenteric, parovarian, or vaginal. The pathogenesis and embryologic, diagnostic, and therapeutic aspects are reviewed and a case report is presented.

Cystic Adrenal Mass: Pseudocyst Associated with Hemangioma

“…It is usually due to the pressure on adja cent organs by expansive growth of the cyst [8,9], In our case, too, right lateral abdominal dullness probably due to expansion of the cyst was felt, however we could not pal pate an abdominal mass.…”

Cystic peritoneal mesothelioma: Report of a case

“…These cysts could also be vascular in origin (angiomatous or lymphatic). 19 Immunochemistry is a powerful tool in the differential diagnosis between these entities. 20 Surgical resection remains the gold standard for the treatment of BMPM, despite recurrence rates that vary between 27% and 75% when the follow up is extended from 3 months to 22 years after surgery.…”

Benign idiopathic retroperitoneal cyst: A case series of three patients

“…The treatment of choice, however, remains complete excision with preservation of surrounding important structures it is related to [2]. Other less acceptable options include marsupialization, fenestration and partial excision when complete excision is not possible, or the cyst is infected [10]. In such cases recurrence is a cause of major concern.…”
