Primary Retroperitoneal Malignant Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor Mimicking Adrenal Mass
Gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) is the most common non-epithelial tumor in the gastrointestinal tract. Although GIST occurs mainly in the gastrointestinal tract, it also occurs, rarely, in non-gastrointestinal tract and in this case, it is often named as extra-gastrointestinal stromal tumor (EGIST). We experienced a 68-year-old male patient who had been diagnosed preoperatively with accid...

Evaluation of retroperitoneal tumors often leads to surgery, many times to obtain a definitive diagnosis and rule out malignancy. Calcifying fibrous tumors (CFT) are very rare soft tissue tumors occurring most often in young patients. They are most often found arising in the thoracic...

Bronchogenic cysts arise from developmental aberrations of the tracheobronchial tree in the early embryologic period. We report a 42-year-old female patient with a retroperitoneal bronchogenic cyst in the left adrenal region. She was admitted to our hospital with ep...
