[Christopherson's tumor. Review of the literature apropos of a retroperitoneal localization].
Alveolar soft-part sarcoma is rare, and its retroperitoneal localization in psoas major muscle, exceptional. Concerning a case occurred in a young woman, the authors focus on the characters of this tumor of unknown histogenesis which affects predominantly young adults, mainly females. This disease, which symptomatology is poor and which evolution is particularly long for such a neoplasm, leads inexorably to death despite surgical treatment that represents to date, the unique efficient therapeutic modality.
