Introduction and importance: Retroperitoneal neoplasia comprise less than 2% of all tumours. benign primary retroperitoneal mucinous cystadenoma (PRMC) is an extremely rare tumour. Their clinical course is overall silent unless the patient presents with a vague abdominal or pelvic pain, abdominal distention, or a palpable mass. Their aetiology remains theorized and since 1989, only 46 cases (excluding ours) worldwide were documented in the literature. The majority of cases were discovered in females but the overall tumour incidence rate is still undetermined due to its rarity. Well-timed recognition of this pathology permits the necessary curative surgical intervention to take place. Case presentation: We hereby illustrate the rare case of a 23-year-old female who presented to the surgical clinic complaining solely of an unexplained gradual increase of the abdominal contour. Their presurgical radiological analysis yielded an intraabdominal large-sized well-demarcated retroperitoneal mass. Clinical discussion: Thorough resection of the mass was accomplished via open surgery. The subsequent microscopic analysis of excised tumour yielded the diagnosis of primary retroperitoneal mucinous cystadenoma of benign nature. Conclusion: Primary retroperitoneal mucinous cystadenoma is a seldom seen tumour. The scarcity of its occurrence is further highlighted by the published data. Based on their conclusive review of the available published English-based literature, ours is the 47th documented case of a benign PRMC and it is the first documented case from our country; Syria. The impact of these findings warrants raising awareness on the subject and considering PRMC as a differential diagnosis when presented with a similar case in the clinical practice.

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.
