title: Primary retroperitoneal tumors.
abstract: The pathological classification, diagnosis and therapy of primary retroperitoneal tumors are presented. Three typical cases from our clinical experience are described. Ultrasonography is the most important screening method for the early diagnosis of primary retroperitoneal tumors. Early diagnosis and total surgical excision offer the only hope for successful treatment.
