Abstract:
A 72-year-old woman was transferred to our hospital after being diagnosed with retroperitoneal and ovarian tumors. Abdominal computed tomography revealed a well-defined mass lesion measuring 35 mm on the dorsal side of the descending part of the duodenum that was surrounded by the head of the pancreas and inferior vena cava. In addition, a cystic mass measuring 90 mm was found in the pelvis. Hence, the patient was diagnosed synchronous retroperitoneal tumor and teratoma. Laparoscopic retroperitoneal tumor resection and right adnexectomy were performed. The pathological findings indicated that the retroperitoneal tumor was a diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and the pelvic tumor was a mature cystic teratoma of the ovary. On the basis of the computed tomography findings, we judged that the tumor had a poor tendency to infiltrate and could be peeled off and resected using laparoscopic surgery. In this rare case, the retroperitoneal tumor and mature teratocarcinoma were simultaneously resected laparoscopically.
