A rare malignant retroperitoneal cyst, initially benign, recurred as cancer invading the colon and abdominal wall. This highlights the importance of long-term surveillance for retroperitoneal lesions.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Surgical Pathology
  • Retroperitoneal Neoplasms

Background:

  • Benign mucinous cysts can rarely transform into malignant tumors.
  • Retroperitoneal space is a rare site for cyst development.

Observation:

  • A 75-year-old woman presented with a malignant cyst in the left retroperitoneal space.
  • This occurred 40 years after the removal of a benign mucinous cyst from the same location.

Findings:

  • The malignant cyst exhibited both sarcomatous and carcinomatous components.
  • Recurrence within 6 months presented as a carcinoma penetrating the left colon and abdominal wall.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the potential for malignant transformation of benign retroperitoneal cysts.

  • Long-term surveillance may be necessary for patients with a history of retroperitoneal cysts.
  • Aggressive local invasion necessitates multidisciplinary treatment approaches.
