This case report details a rare instance of pseudomyxoma retroperitonei, a condition mimicking pseudomyxoma peritonei but found in the retroperitoneal space. It highlights a unique presentation in a patient with a history of severe appendicitis.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology and Surgical Oncology
  • Retroperitoneal Tumors
  • Appendiceal Neoplasms

Background:

  • Pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) is a rare condition characterized by mucinous ascites, typically originating from an appendiceal mucinous neoplasm.
  • Retroperitoneal masses are uncommon and can present diagnostic challenges.

Observation:

  • A 58-year-old woman with a history of severe appendicitis presented with imaging findings suggestive of a multicystic mass.
  • The mass was located in the retroperitoneal space, distinct from the typical peritoneal involvement seen in PMP.

Findings:

  • The case describes a rare presentation of pseudomyxoma retroperitonei, a mucinous tumor confined to the retroperitoneal space.
  • This diagnosis was considered despite imaging similarities to PMP, emphasizing the importance of precise anatomical localization.

Implications:

  • This case expands the known anatomical locations for pseudomyxoma retroperitonei.
  • Accurate diagnosis and surgical management of retroperitoneal mucinous tumors are crucial.
  • Further research into the etiology and behavior of retroperitoneal mucinous neoplasms is warranted.
