A rare bronchogenic cyst, a congenital abnormality, was found in the retroperitoneum of a 51-year-old woman. This case highlights the laparoscopic resection of this infrequent retroperitoneal cystic tumor.
Area of Science:
- Surgical Pathology
- Gastrointestinal Surgery
- Thoracic Surgery
Background:
- Primary retroperitoneal cystic tumors are rare in surgical pathology.
- Adrenal tumors are often suspected for retroperitoneal masses.
Observation:
- A 51-year-old woman presented with an incidental left-sided retroperitoneal mass.
- The mass was a cystic lesion filled with mucous secretion.
Findings:
- Histopathological diagnosis confirmed the retroperitoneal mass as a bronchogenic cyst.
- The cyst was successfully resected laparoscopically.
Implications:
- This case presents a rare benign congenital aberration originating from abnormal tracheobronchial budding.
- Laparoscopic surgery is a viable option for removing such rare retroperitoneal cystic lesions.
