INTRODUCTION Adrenal Myelolipoma is a rare benign neoplasm, which contains mature adipose tissue and variable amounts of haematopoietic elements. Most lesions are small and asymptomatic, discovered incidentally during autopsy or imaging studies performed for other reasons. CASE PRESENTATION Here we reported a series of two cases of giant myelolipomas of the adrenal gland; first one the larges...

Bronchogenic cysts are mostly benign, congenital abnormalities originating from the remnants of the primitive foregut. A retroperitoneal location is rare. Due to the mostly asymptomatic behavior and the historical confusion regarding histology, an exact prevalence is not known. We present here a case report of a retroperitoneal bronchogenic cyst. A literature review was performed for cases of r...

BACKGROUND By clarifying the significance of clinicopathological factors for retroperitoneal lymph node metastasis and survival of patients with endometrial cancer, we suggest ideas for optimal treatment of this disease. METHODS A retrospective study was conducted in 310 women with endometrial cancer who underwent surgery with retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy. To evaluate retroperitoneal lymph...

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVE Retroperitoneal access for robotic renal surgery is an effective alternative to the commonly used transperitoneal approach. We describe our contemporary experience and technique for attaining retroperitoneal access. MATERIALS AND METHODS We outline our institutional approach to retroperitoneal access for the instruction of urologists at the beginning of the learning...

Retroperitoneal sarcomas (RPS) are rare malignant tumours that originate from connective tissues of skeletal or extraskeletal origin in the retroperitoneal region, which often missed. This case report highlights a patient with RPS presented abdominal swelling. In addition, this was written to elucidate significance thorough history, physical examination findings, and awareness considering as di...

BACKGROUND Recent studies have demonstrated that pathological analysis of retroperitoneal residual masses of patients with testicular germ cell tumors revealed findings of necrotic debris or fibrosis in up to 50% of patients. We aimed at pursuing a clinical and pathological review of patients undergoing post chemotherapy retroperitoneal lymph node dissection (PC-RPLND) in order to identify vari...

results: among 11 patients who underwent surgery consisted of eight males and three females. their metastasis originated from testis tumors (n = 5), renal cell carcinoma (rcc; n = 4), bladder tumor (n = 1), and prostate cancer (n = 1). their mean age was 41.27 years (range, 21-67). the mean age of the patients with rcc and testis tumor at the time of diagnosing metastasis was 54 and 24.8 years,...

This paper describes the case of a malignant retroperitoneal paraganglioma with extensive metastases. The patient presented with a supraclavicular mass and an absence of hypertension. Exclusively raised dopamine metabolites were detected which may be a marker of a malignant process and account for the lack of hypertension.

Hydatid disease is a parasitic tapeworm infestation that usually involves liver and lungs. Primary retroperitoneal hydatid without liver and lung involvement is very rare. Surgery is the principle method of treatment for large retroperitoneal hydatid, whenever feasible. We report a case of primary retroperitoneal hydatid cyst in 29-year-old male patient.

Retroperitoneal perforation of duodenal diverticula around the papilla of Vater is relatively rare. In this report, we describe retroperitoneal abscess, which was successfully treated by endoscopic drainage. Thus, endoscopic approach for retroperitoneal perforation caused by diverticulum is one of the treatment options in addition to surgery.
