A Retroperitoneal Serous Cystadenoma of Müllerian Origin Masquerading as a Massive Renal Cyst

Abstract A 78 year old female presented to the Urology clinic with a large, symptomatic left-sided abdominal cyst for many years believed to be renal in etiology and had been percutaneously drained three times prior with persistent regrowth. The patient underwent laparoscopic resection of this mass...

Description
Summary:Abstract A 78 year old female presented to the Urology clinic with a large, symptomatic left-sided abdominal cyst for many years believed to be renal in etiology and had been percutaneously drained three times prior with persistent regrowth. The patient underwent laparoscopic resection of this mass which proved to be a completely distinct retroperitoneal cystic structure and not renal in nature. Pathological analysis ultimately revealed a rare occurrence: a benign retroperitoneal Müllerian serous cystadenoma. To our knowledge, this is the first report of such an entity ‘disguised’ as a renal cyst.
