title: Primary retroperitoneal mucinous cystadenocarcinoma: report of a case.
abstract: A case of primary retroperitoneal mucinous cystadenocarcinoma is presented. Ultrasonography (US), computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examinations demonstrated a large cystic tumor with solid excrescences. Angiographic examination demonstrated an avascular area with small areas of faint blush. It must be borne in mind that mucinous cystadenocarcinoma originating from the retroperitoneum can occur, although it is very rare.
