[Primary retroperitoneal tumors--course, diagnosis and treatment results].
36 patients with primary retroperitoneal tumors (PRT) were studied. In 15 cases (41.7%) tumours were found incidentally. Ultrasound examination seems to be the golden standard for finding asymptomatic retroperitoneal neoplasms. High percentage of malignancy (72.2%-26 cases), mesenchymal texture of tumors and late detection of the disease caused by its occult clinical course are the frequent reasons of inoperability (11 patients-30.5%).
