Retroperitoneal mucinous cystadenoma.

Subramony C,Habibpour S,Hashimoto LA

Abstract

Primary retroperitoneal mucinous cystadenoma is an uncommon tumor found exclusively in women. Herein, we describe a patient who had resection of a large retroperitoneal cystic mass. Histologic, immunohistochemical, and electron microscopic examination of the lining epithelial cells showed features of mesothelial cells in addition to ovarian mucinous cystadenoma. These findings suggest that these tumors arise from inclusions of mesothelial cells and subsequent mucinous metaplasia of the lining cells to form a cystadenoma. Estrogen receptors may be implicated in tumor promotion, explaining the occurrence exclusively in women.
