Primary cystoadenocarcinoma
Exceptional etiology of a cystic retroperitoneal tumor
Abstract
Primary retroperitoneal cystoadenocarcinoma is an exceptional disease, being this the first case Publisher in the national literature.
Diagnosis, in all of the cases reported is anatomopathological, subsequent to the final study of the sample. Surgical resection extension is debated if there is no compromise of neighboring structures. Adjuvant treatment is justified when the tumor is broken or there is locoregional compromise.
We present the clinical case of a 29 year old patient who consulted for right lank pain, where a tumor was identified. Ultrasound confirmed the existence of a cystic process, and complete surgical abscission/exeresis was performed next to an area in the in the abdominal wall. Anatomopathological report confirmed a primaruy retroperitoneal cistoadenocarcinoma.
No adjuvant treatment was applied, evolution was good 11 months after surgery, no evidence of the disease.
