[A case report of retroperitoneal leiomyoma and review of the Japanese literature].
A 76-year-old woman presented with a history of pain on urination and urinary frequency. The sonogram incidentally demonstrated a mass in the area of the upper right kidney, and CT scan revealed a retroperitoneal tumor. Operation was carried out, and the tumor measured 4 X 4 X 5.5 cm (35 g). The pathology report was consistent with leiomyoma. The patient had undergone surgical excision of a right retroperitoneal tumor before 27 years, and it is suspected to have been an ectopic retroperitoneal tumor judging from operative findings. Retroperitoneal leiomyoma is rare and a review of the Japanese literature is presented.
