title: [Primary retroperitoneal mucinous cystadenoma: a case treated by celioscopic surgery].
abstract: We used laparoscopy to treat a case of primary retroperitoneal mucinous cystadenoma. This tumours is rarely encountered and has been reported in 22 cases in the literature. The histogenesis is uncertain. Diagnosis is never made preoperatively since primary retroperitoneal mucinous cystadenomas are usually mistaken for cystic lymphangiomas of the retroperitoneum. Surgery is the only treatment. Laparoscopic surgery can be used only if the cystadenocarcinomatous nature of the tumour is ruled out.
