A rare case of primary retroperitoneal leiomyoma presented as a pelvic abscess. Surgical removal and pathological analysis confirmed the diagnosis of this uncommon tumor.

Area of Science:

  • Gynecologic Oncology
  • Surgical Pathology
  • Abdominal Imaging

Background:

  • Primary retroperitoneal tumors are rare, with leiomyomas being an infrequent subtype.
  • Leiomyomas typically arise in the uterus but can occur in extragenital locations.
  • Pelvic abscesses usually result from infection, making a leiomyoma an unexpected cause.

Observation:

  • A patient presented with symptoms of fever, hypogastric, and perineal pain.
  • Diagnostic imaging revealed a pelvic mass consistent with an abscess.
  • The mass was surgically removed after initial drainage of purulent material.

Findings:

  • Pathological analysis of the surgical specimen confirmed a retroperitoneal leiomyoma.
  • The leiomyoma had presented clinically as a pelvic abscess.

  • This represents an unusual presentation of a retroperitoneal leiomyoma.

    • Implications:

    • Highlights the importance of considering rare tumor types in the differential diagnosis of pelvic abscesses.
    • Emphasizes the role of surgical pathology in definitive diagnosis of retroperitoneal masses.
    • Contributes to the understanding of the varied clinical presentations of leiomyomas.
