Retroperitoneal cysts require surgical removal due to potential complications and malignancy risks. This case highlights successful complete excision of a large retroperitoneal chylous cyst, with no recurrence observed post-surgery.

Area of Science:

  • Pathology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Abdominal Imaging

Background:

  • Retroperitoneal cysts, often grouped with omental and mesenteric cysts, carry significant risks of complications and malignancy.
  • Surgical extirpation is recommended for these lesions.
  • Retroperitoneal cysts exhibit higher complication and recurrence rates post-surgery compared to omental or mesenteric cysts.

Observation:

  • A case of a large, three-liter retroperitoneal chylous cyst is presented.
  • Preoperative diagnosis was confirmed using computed tomography (CT) scan and cyst fluid analysis.
  • The cyst was completely excised via an intercostal, retroperitoneal surgical approach.

Findings:

  • Complete surgical removal of the retroperitoneal chylous cyst was achieved.

  • The patient experienced an uneventful postoperative recovery.
  • No evidence of cyst recurrence was detected at the six-month follow-up.

    • Implications:

    • This case demonstrates the efficacy of a combined diagnostic and surgical strategy for large retroperitoneal chylous cysts.
    • Complete resection is crucial for preventing recurrence and managing potential complications.
    • The intercostal, retroperitoneal approach can be a viable option for managing large retroperitoneal cystic lesions.
