Novel presentation of idiopathic benign retroperitoneal cyst: A case report

Abstract

Benign cystic lesions of the retroperitoneum and mesenterium are rarely encountered clinically 1, 2. Up to 40% of such cysts are found incidentally during abdominal surgery for unrelated disorders1. Most patients display some chronic symptoms that necessitate therapeutic intervention. CT scan might help in confirming the diagnosis and surgery is the mainstay treatment. This report describes a case of a giant retroperitoneal cyst successfully excised in an adult female.
