title: A case of primary retroperitoneal serous adenocarcinoma.
abstract: Primary retroperitoneal serous adenocarcinoma (PRSA) is an extremely rare malignancy, of which only six cases have been reported in the literature. Here, we describe a PRSA in a 75-year-old woman treated with surgical excision and adjuvant chemotherapy. The pathological features of PRSA resemble those of ovarian serous carcinoma, which suggests that a combination of surgical excision with adjuvant chemotherapy may be the best option.
