Abstract:
Identification of the retroperitoneal fascial planes with modern computed tomographic scanners allows for precise localization of pathologic processes in the individual compartments of the retroperitoneum. Metastatic disease to the posterior pararenal space or properitoneal space in 6 patients is reported. Two patients had diffuse histiocytic lymphoma and 4 had metastatic melanoma.
