Περίληψη:
A case of retroperitoneal mucinous cystadenoma histologically confirmed
in a 21-year-old woman is reported. Although ultrasound, CT and MR
detected the tumor, a preoperative diagnosis could not be established by
imaging methods. The cystic tumor was removed and microscopic
examination revealed a mucinous cystadenoma, Mullerian mesothelial
metaplasia of peritoneal invagination into the retroperitoneal space is
the most likely explanation for the histogenesis of these tumors. (C)
