Primary retroperitoneal mucinous cystadenoma of borderline malignancy represents a rare tumor, with unclear histogenesis, concerning almost exclusively women. Only two cases concerning male patients have been reported.
We herein report a case of a 37 year old man undergone laparotomy for a sizable retroperitoneal tumor resulting after the histological examination to a primary retroperitoneal mucinous cystadenoma of borderline malignancy.
This is the third case of primary retroperitoneal mucinous cystadenoma of borderline malignancy in a male patient reported in the literature. The preoperative diagnosis is impossible. Laparotomy constitutes the only diagnostic and curative approach.
交界性腹膜后黏液性囊腺瘤是一种罕见的肿瘤,其组织发生尚不清楚,几乎只发生在女性身上。仅报告过两例男性患者的病例。
本文报告了一例 37 岁男性患者的病例,该患者因腹膜后大肿瘤而行剖腹手术,组织学检查结果为交界性腹膜后黏液性囊腺瘤。
这是文献中报告的第三例男性交界性腹膜后黏液性囊腺瘤病例。术前诊断不可能。剖腹手术是唯一的诊断和治疗方法。
